Logement propre , mignon , bien meublé! Faites pour 2 personnes bien sûr ! J’ai adoré mon séjour et Brandon a répondu à tout mes questions et a été très patient avec moi pour le paiement du parking car les banques au centre ville d’Ottawa ferme tôt ! Très gentil de sa part d’avoir attendue sans trop me stresser!

The place has everything you need and more. Complimentary Netflix for the win, a cute little apartment in the basement (depending on which one you get). Very good location, close to downtown Ottawa, the embassy’s (most), the parliament, lots to do and see around.
