Didn’t like it
Pros:

Spacious, many rooms, the kitchen looked clean but we didn’t use it.

Cons:

We didn’t find the parking so we paid for another one for the night, bedding not comfortable, a/c not working in the room, smells smoke, price to high for the quality.

Run away!
Pros:

So many problems. Please don’t book here.

Cons:

Got in at 4 the place was wrecked dirty dishes everywhere garbage everywhere tv didn’t work no remote waited for ever for someone to clean it when all we wanted was a nap. Door upstairs doesn’t lock or the window in the back that’s a door locks but it comes unlock at night which is odd. Just book somewhere else was promised a refund and was charged the whole amount. My kids were crying they didn’t feel safe or welcomed no tv to calm them down. It was supposed to be a small vacation that turned into a nightmare. Owner got back to me fairly fast I must say when I summited a complaint with booking.com with a rude message. Never been unhappy like this. Ruined everything.

Cons:

Grosse déception concernant ce logement à Ottawa. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons constaté de sérieux problèmes. Les chauffages étaient tous électriques et réchauffaient très mal l’espace. Pour les deux chambres, un seul chauffage était disponible, et ceux placés dans les autres pièces étaient accompagnés d’un mot du propriétaire indiquant qu’il ne fallait surtout pas les déplacer, sous peine de faire disjoncter tout le logement. Résultat : une des chambres est restée glaciale tout le séjour. Nous avons envoyé un message au propriétaire pour trouver une solution, mais nous n’avons jamais reçu de réponse. En revanche, au moment du départ, on nous demande de laisser un avis positif… un comble.

Le sol était dans un état lamentable (photos à l’appui) : impossible de marcher pieds nus sans risquer de se blesser. Les canapés étaient sales, tachés ( un nettoyage peut être ?), avec même des trous. La télécommande de la télévision était introuvable malgré une fouille complète de tous les tiroirs.

Concernant les lits, celui de la première chambre grinçait au moindre mouvement. Et si la literie semblait correcte au premier regard, en retirant les housses nous avons découvert des oreillers tachés et jaunis… inadmissible.

En résumé, une expérience très décevante et un logement largement en dessous du minimum acceptable. Vu la qualité plus que médiocre, le manque de chauffage et l’absence totale de réponse du propriétaire, un remboursement serait pleinement justifié. Sans dédommagement, je ne repasserai clairement plus par la plateforme Booking. Nous repartons vraiment mécontents.

Uncomfortable stay; the apartment was very cold.
Pros:

Good location, large apartment

Cons:

There is no heating system in the apartment. There are only three fan heaters, but they make a lot of noise and are basically unusable.

The apartment was extremely cold throughout our stay. We had a lot of difficulty sleeping because of the temperature, which made the experience very uncomfortable.

It’s very disappointing, especially for a place that is supposed to offer a minimum level of comfort.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The place had stains on the sofa, bed, linens and it was not clean. I was with a baby and just wanted to leave the place as soon as I could.

Pros:

The location unfortunately was a bit out of the way, but nothing too much. Very nice places to eat nearby.

Cons:

Heating was a bit of an issue on the first day and the heater in one of the rooms was broken.
