The place was in a quiet neighborhood. Nice touch with the breakfast nook. Water pressure was great. Parking a bit tricky for a beginner driver. Well furnished with games. We had a good time.

Easy, Enjoyable Stay

We enjoyed the property. Was close to downtown and a very clean, well equip unit. Mesac was great in helping us with check-in, a parking issue and Internet access. Would recommend if you want something efficient and close to museums and downtown.

A very cute and cozy apartment - solid location, very close to the Bluesfest music festival and only a short bus ride from Ottawa. A little far from food, groceries, etc but was easy enough to plan into our bus trips out to the city during the day. Great (and fast) communication from the host as well.

Host was quick to respond, Bed is hard, so if that is what you prefer you will do fine here. Only 3 towels for 4 people. We did not spend much time here during the 4 nights we stayed with the exception of sleeping but it seemed to be quiet. There is a kitchen with pans for cooking, if you would like to save some money and buy food instead of going out for meals. Host offered coffee and 4 packs of oatmeal and eggos and bread in freezer. Condiments available. No sugar for coffee. Smoke detector/ carbon monoxide not hooked up not sure why. Could use some weeding especially at the front of the driveway. We had to trudge through tall weeds to get to our apartment. Parking is free but very small, it was a struggle to get out of our vehicle due to lack of room, if you have a large truck I do not think you would fit.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The place is simple and suitable for no more than three people. Everything is at a Dollarama-level quality. The bed linens were not as clean as they should have been, and we found hair strands everywhere. The quality of the bedding leaves much to be desired. Everything is made of synthetic fabric, stained, and not properly cleaned. The sofa bed has an extremely soft mattress that hurts your back more than it allows your body to rest comfortably. The host is extremely attentive and tries to help at all times. The place is quiet and serves its purpose. Overall, it is a 3-star place with 2-star amenities and 5-star customer service.

Easy stay

My brother and I flew in from Vancouver and stayed there for a week due to a family medical emergency. Arriving already stressed, we were grateful for the little touches the manager of this property provided, making our stay simple, easy and comfortable. There was coffee, condiments, all the cooking supplies we needed. I had even made an error on our booking and had booked an extra day, which the (very responsive) owner promptly refunded without skipping a beat. The place is modest, but very efficient and super clean, stocked with everything you need. We will book this again without hesitation!

As good as one can expect from a short term rental

The place was immaculate, the owner communicated well and was pleasant to deal with, and the kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook a meal (except food, of course, though there were yummy complementary snacks). There was plenty of towels, bedding, sleep spaces, etc. The location is ok. It's not the most beautiful neighbourhood, but there is a fun park a short walk away that my kids enjoyed and it's a short drive to downtown Ottawa. All around great experience, especially for the price. One thing to note: if you are bringing a toddler, you may want to bring a baby gate as there is a staircase.

Amazing apartment, 30 mins walk into centre of Ottawa

The area is OK and there was spilled rubbish on the overgrown path when we arrived. I was a little worried. However, once inside, this is a great apartment! The fan in the bedroom kept us cool at night, the kitchen had everything we needed and more and we took advantage of having a washing machine and dryer. We walked across the bridge into the city. There are no supermarkets nearby, just corner shops which sells the basics.

Gatineau Visit in July

The house was conveniently located in Gatineau very close to the bridge to Ottawa. The property also included off street parking. The door to the house was on the side of the building and near trash bins, so not that convenient. And the entrance to the space was a steep stairway. But the actual space was quite nice with a full kitchen that was well stocked, living room, and comfortable bedroom. The bathroom had a few issues with the shower. But the communication with the owner was great and his hospitality was great. Really enjoyed my stay there to visit Ottawa.

L’emplacement de ce logement est idéal pour visiter Gatineau, notamment le musée de l’histoire du Canada qui est tout près et même emprunter à pied le pont Alexandra : vous serez immédiatement au cœur d’Ottawa (Musée des beaux-arts, Parlement, Bureau du Premier Ministre, Centre commercial Rideau). Tout était propre, Jules était réactif et il avait même prévu de quoi faire un light breakfast!
