**Important Notice**

• We are not responsible for any unreceived parcel delivery or shipping orders. We encourage guests to avoid placing online orders during their stay as shipping times can vary. Even when the expected delivery date is within your stay, we do not recommend placing orders that must be shipped to your vacation rental property.

The photos of the unit are representative as I make minor updates to the furniture and decor from time to time. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

There is limited on-site parking available behind the building in the back lot for $20/day. Booking in advance is recommended. Please inquire with us for further details.

• Pets up to 70 lbs. are very welcome at our home, with a maximum of 2 pets allowed. However, please note that pitbulls are not permitted.

If you have more than one pet, please note that an extra fee of CAD 49.00 per pet will also be collected after booking confirmation

Your wellbeing is our top priority. We have built upon our foundation of pre-existing high cleaning standards with additional Covid-19 specific recommendations from the WHO, CDC and Canadian Public Health Agency guidelines.

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.
