My daughter & I had been traveling all day when we arrived at our destination; unfortunately, the check-in process was rough. To sum it up: the digital lockbox located above the door handle didn't respond to my touch so I thought it wasn't working. I tried to put the code into the physical lockbox, but of course that didn't work. It would have been helpful to know that a firm, constant pressure would wake up the digital lockbox. On a positive note, the owners were very responsive and helpful when I expressed my distress; they helped me successfully access the property.
Once inside, my daughter & I were delighted by the roomy living room, spacious kitchen, & large soaking tub. Some of the surfaces had clearly been wiped down, but others were adorned in crumbs &/or dust. The trashcans were missing trash bags, which was inconvenient. The furnace, located downstairs just beyond the main bedroom wall, was very noisy & briefly awakened me on both nights.
Other than the aforementioned issues, the house was tidy, pleasantly cozy, & convenient. A well-equipped kitchen, plus a roomy sectional & variety of sleeping options (3 bedrooms upstairs, plus 1 downstairs), set this rental a cut above: the owners have done a decent job maximizing & updating their bungalow. The surrounding area was a bit sketchy, but peaceful; the location couldn't be beat for its proximity to downtown & Niagara Falls (30-min drive).
If I were to return to Fort Erie, I'd book CBR again without hesitation.
