“Very pleasant ☺️”
The location is great and close to everything in downtown Ottawa. Having a private parking is a nice plus which the property offers. The hostess, Tina, was very kind and helpful whenever we needed anything or advice.

“Cozy curio shop like apartment in Centretown”
The location in Centretown is convenient for us. For those who walk, it's about 10-15 min walk to many shops and sightseeing places. Having on-site parking was such a perk for this location. The space was comfortable. It's a mix of curio shop like bedroom and modern kitchen. The shower is comfortable.

“Lovely!”
The space was truly 'a gem'. Tina has a beautifully serene back area with outdoor seating for guests, and the indoors was very clean, had every amenity including a Keurig machine and was artistically decorated. Lovely and comfortable space. I truly loved everything!

“Won't be returning! Way overpriced!!! Not a gem.”
The apt is not a gem. The apt is in a gritty area. Druggies not too far away. There's a Tim Horton nearby but lots of down and outers there, lousy coffee and donuts. The apt looks like someone lived in it and was away. The apt smelled musty. The shower was tucked away in a dark corner. Strange! There's no tv even though I paid almost $200 for 1 night. There was a large ball near the bed. There's no living room or sitting area. You have to sit in the kitchen. Only a kitchen and bedroom and tiny bathroom. The kitchen is there as soon as you enter the apt.What a rip off! The owners house looks shabby from the outside. The apt is in the back of the house. I got the creeps and left shortly after, booked elsewhere.
