***Entire COZY PLACE*** 5 Minutes Drive Downtown Ottawa

The property was located in a convenient location to downtown Ottawa. Getting around was relatively easy. We were visiting from out of province. There was a dart board available however the neighbours did not appreciate us playing. The home was clean but there was no use of a back deck as it was under repair. The onsite laundry facilities were very useful.

Host was kind and helpful but the property was quite a bit more worn down than the photos show. The sofa is a cheap, very uncomfortable fabric sectional covered in a black sheet to hide the wear. The bathrooms are both in need of a refresh and there is lots of visible water damage everywhere. The kitchen was nice but the appliances were definitely not in great condition. Kind of just feels like the overall maintenance/upkeep of the property hasn’t been done. Location was great for accessing Ottawa and the price was good too. Probably wouldn’t stay here for any longer than a couple of nights though.

Lovely time.

We had a mixed experience with this property.On the positive side, communication from Ders was excellent throughout our stay. The location is great, with beautiful river views, and the primary bedroom is spacious and comfortable. The washer and dryer are new, and the kitchen is very well equipped in terms of tools and appliances.Unfortunately, the condition and cleanliness of the home significantly detracted from the experience. The walls are extremely thin and there is an adjoining rental unit, so noise travels easily. We frequently heard banging, yelling, and music from the neighboring space until as late as 01:30. As well, the leather couch in the photo is now a covered fabric couch.Most concerning, however, was the overall cleanliness and maintenance. The property appears to receive only surface-level cleaning rather than proper turnover care. We observed visible mold and buildup in the bathroom vents, mold and staining on the blinds above the bathtub, and dirt inside the bathtub jets, which made the tub unusable from a hygiene standpoint. The oven warming drawer contained debris and rust residue. Several vents were heavily soiled, and one floor vent was broken. Walls were marked and dirty throughout, and window trim showed cracking and grime.These are not isolated cosmetic issues but signs of deferred cleaning and maintenance. With deeper cleaning and more consistent maintenance, this property could be much better.
