Convenient location
This apartment was in the perfect location for our vacation. It is an easy 30 minute walk to Byward Market, museums, and Parliament. Amy was responsive when the information regarding access codes was incorrect and ensuring the smoke detector was installed. We would definitely stay here again!

High rise apartment with great views
The apartment was just as pictured with lots of light, clean updated kitchen, good shower and comfortable beds. The views from the 17th floor windows of the apartment were amazing. It was a good proximity to Ottawa bike trails, shopping and great restaurants. We really enjoyed our visit. Amy was great and very responsive to our questions. Thank you!

Was fine. Large apartment, beautiful views. Not sure if it is walking distance to byward market, we drove because of the smoke but google said 30 min walk. Would not recommend if you are sensitive to heat as there is no AC in rooms and they get very hot. Amy was overall a good host and very communicative.

Dean and his friends are excellent guests, communicating about situation on newly replaced air conditioning and heating machine. The weather was extremely hot and it was about 33 degree. Normally it takes at least two days to cool down the suite. We hope it will be great for next upcoming guests. I am a fast walker and it takes me 30 mins to reach Byward market via bridge. Anyway, 5-10 driving distance is possible too. There are a plenty of 2-hour free parking spaces. Thank you Dean for your business.

Condo with a Beautiful View
The view from this upper floor condo was stunning! Could see lots of different watercraft on the Ottawa River and had a panoramic view of the city of Ottawa including Rideau Falls, Chateau Laurier and Parliament Hill. So many amazing things to do within walking distance! The air conditioning wasn't working (which was being fixed as we left) but the owner provided many fans to help. Overall the condo had everything we needed and it was a great place to stay.

Great location and view
Great location for seeing Ottawa and a short drive from the Spa Nordik in Chelsea. An older building but the suite is nicely updated. Beds were comfortable and the place is clean. Amy is a very attentive host, who met us at the unit and showed us the ins and outs of the parking. For people who are heat intolerant, the AC is an older unit that may struggle to keep up on very hot days. We opened the windows in the evening and a nice breeze cooled things down so this wasn’t a big deal for us in May. The place has an amazing view of parliament hill and the Ottawa river which was nice to wake up and look at while enjoying your coffee.

One of the best views in Ottawa
We found our stay to be just what we hoped. The condo was exactly as advertised and Amy Ng was extremely helpful. There is easy access to downtown Ottawa by two bridges that are close by and Museum of Civilization was with in walking distance. The park beside the building offered biking and walking paths. It was nice that we could open the windows and the balcony door to avoid using the air conditioning as the bright sun light warmed the apartment quickly.

Stunning views and amazing! Quiet location and suitable for year round visitors. I’d definitely stay again if I’m ever in the area. Close to Ottawa but a rental car or knowledge of the bus system is a must. You can see Parliament but not the noise of the city. Location is very clean and welcoming. Amy is wonderful!

Too hot
17th floor of a high rise and no air conditioning in the bedrooms , poorly working unit in the living room. No vacation like sleeping in what feels like the hubs of hell on one of the hottest days of the year. Paid 5 nights, left after 1st night. The hosts are nice but are new to this game and have much to learn. I truly wish them well.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 12, 2022
Thank you Charles for providing this review. It was one of hottest day in history as Charles mentioned. The air conditioning unit has been back to normal immediately after the a/c contractor cleaned the filter which was partially blocked by the dust of recent garage renovation . In fact, Charles got some refunds as a result of the situation. He did mention on his text to me that the condo has an amazing view to Ottawa river and parliament of Canada - one is the utmost important historical and modern site. He also told me that condo is clean. The a/c situation was out of our control. I believe the continued improvement and corrective actions are keys to our vocational rental success. Also his family was expecting a motel, in which we explicitly describe on the VRBO website as high-rise condo. Good luck with Charles for his selected properties that hopefully met his expectations.

Julie B.

Pretty views, needs a major deep cleaning.
The location of this property is fantastic and the views are truly unbeatable. We enjoyed walks in the park across the street and the proximity to parliament hill and all the amenities of being within walking distance to the capital. Amy was lovely and very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. The property itself was fairly well appointed, there was a bit of a lack of kitchen equipment as others have mentioned. We also were not a fan of the pillows or towels provided, everything was mismatched and felt very hand-me-down. The towels were sand paper rough and small, and we were provided exactly 3 for 3 people, though Amy offered additional if we needed to contact her. The furniture was in good condition and comfortable, including both queen beds. Our biggest complaint by far was the cleanliness and overall maintenance of the unit. The bathroom was not clean, nor the floors. The tub was dirty, the fridge and appliances were dirty. We wiped everything down upon arrival as much as possible but felt the unit was very unclean. There was no vacuum or cleaning tools provided besides a mop. There was also a fair amount of mold above the window by the kitchen which was concerning. Several lights were also out and all the vents were filty and covered in a thick layer of dust and grime. In terms of service, we had confirmed access to parking prior to arrival as we were coming with a small child and lots of belongings. We were informed less than 1 hour prior to arrival that parking was not available and while the reason was not something that could have been avoided and Amy did provid an alternative parking spot for us, it was a 10 minute walk each way and the lack of communication about this beforehand was a little frustrating. We weren't offered any concessions for the parking, either. Overall the unit was nice and has loads of potential, but the cleaning and maintenance needs to be improved dramatically from our experience.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 19, 2021
It is unfortunate that Julie had this experience. It was professionally cleaned. I believe that I have to talk to my cleaning lady and validate the situation. We will improve the cleaning standard. According to my cleaning lady, the bloom was washed and left dry at the balcony. The suite was cleaned and mopped throughout entire condo. Since there is no carpet in the suite, we do not need to use vacuum cleaner. We had accommodated 3 three guests from France and stayed in this suite for 6 months starting from January 1, 2021. Those were all we provided and the clients were happy. Julie only stayed for 5 days, one would not expect to clean too much. For the towels, I did give her options to phone me or retrieve from our storage room in the suite. However, she never communicated with me about towels, cleaning standard. I have to SAY that communication is a key in which she did it many times prior to her arrival, regarding her check-in and parking information. . The parking situation is to our dismay because indoor garage renovation was delayed. We supposed to get the indoor parking available on the first week of October. She arrived on October 11. However, I understand her frustration and I did provide a parking space which is 7-min walking distance. I did offer if she wanted to park at the parking lot, in which I was willing to cover her parking fee around the parking lot, which is 3-min away. Please keep in mind this is a downtown location. We do have 2-hour free parking around the building. Now, our own indoor parking garage is open in full capacity. For the cooking equipment, it is all wrapped with cleaning wraps. The baking oven is not new, one has to expect there is certain degree of wear and tear. By all means, we do appreciate Julie for her honest opinion for the kitchen cooking facilities, it really vary from one guest to another guest. She has a toddler, I would expect she needs more than regular traveller /guest. I will ask her for her input to facilitate someone liking the cooking when one is on vacation. I do like this feedback because it would help us to reflect and improve. In conclusion, I wish Julie could communicate with us during her stay so that we would certainly meet her need by providing vacuum cleaner. When she left and the condition was good except we found a toddler's diaper on our second bedroom. Overall, I really enjoyed to deal with Julie and her family, I hope that we will serve her better if they come again.

We really enjoyed the views from the condo and its location to many activities and restaurants. We walked to many restaurants, Parliament building and Ottawa downtown. In addition Chinatown, little Italy, Casino and even Costco are within 10 minutes of driving. We even went to rock and country concerts in Gatineau! Loved both concerts! We would like to recommend visiting the tourist office on rue Laurier to get a list of activities for your stay.

Best view in town?
We loved the views overlooking the Ottawa River with the Rideau Falls directly across. Tour Notre-Dame is situated next to Brewery Creek, and the mouth of the Gatineau River is beyond, so there is an abundance of greenspace nearby. The apartment is light and airy, although the bathroom is tiny. The 2 queen beds are super comfortable. The kitchen is adequate. Both the fridge and the oven are missing racks. Amy was quick to respond to burnt-out light bulbs, etc. Did I mention the fabulous walk into town via the Interprovincial Bridge? Friendly folk in the elevators. There's even a depanneur off the lobby.

Amazing views and great location
The value for the price of this condo rental is fantastic. The views and location are wonderful. The condo is modest with a tiny balcony and modest renovations/furnishings/decor/kitchen equipment but the views are priceless. Be aware there is no central air conditioning so the two bedrooms are quite warm despite individual fans for each room (we visited in the summer heat). Parking is an additional $16 per day but well worth it for secure, underground, reserved parking. There is access to a building laundromat for a small fee. I would stay here again and was very pleased!

Clean, Near to everything, Well-Equipped, Drop-dead Views
My sister and I spent a week in Amy's beautiful condo while visiting Mosaiculture which was in the park two blocks away. We found everything that we needed in this well-equipped condo, and we were able to prepare several dinners hosting our Ottawa friends. The views of the river cannot be beaten. We watched the scullers every morning as they left from their boathouse across the river and headed out for practice. Eights, fours, doubles and singles - they were all out every day. Amy was most helpful, always available when we had questions.

Nice apartment in a great location!
We recently stayed at Amy’s 17th floor waterfront condo, and as others have said the views are truly amazing! The location of the apartment is great too, as it is close to everything. Amy was very accommodating, and gave us a good orientation to the apartment and the building. The apartment has basic furnishings, was comfortable and clean. There is only a single air conditioner in the living room/kitchen area, and we were there during an unusually hot period (33C+/100F+ days). Amy was kind enough to put the air conditioner on early on the day we arrived, so it was comfortable in the living room. The two bedrooms and bathroom are down the hall, and therefore were warmer than the living room was. We were glad to have the underground parking, as it made bringing stuff in very easy. The one thing to note is, for a stay of over 3 days there was an additional daily charge for the parking. We were very pleased with our stay overall, and Amy was a gracious host. On our next trip to the Ottawa/Gatineau area we would definitely stay here again. Lise & Dave from Florida

Appartement très bien situé, vue incroyable
Nous venons de passer un week-end de trois jours à l'appartement avec nos deux fils (16 et 21 ans). Cet appartement est vraiment bien situé avec une vue incroyable de la rivière de Gatineau et bien sûr d'Ottawa. Les montgolfières étaient visibles de l'appartement. Nous sommes arrivé tard vendredi 23:00, mais Amy a tous organisé pour obtenir la clé et a fait un suivi le lendemain pour s'assurer que tout était OK. Ce fut apprécié. L'appartement est propre, vaste et le Wifi fonctionne bien. Nous savions lors de la réservation qu'il n'y avait que trois chaises et trois tabourets, mais pour un appartement qui offre d'héberger de 4 à 6 personnes, il faudrait 1 chaises de plus pour pouvoir manger tous ensemble et il manque un chaudron de plus gros format pour cuisiner. À part ces petits points, tout était parfait et comme promis. Nous retournerions sans problème et nous allons référer à notre famille et nos amis. Merci Amy pour ce beau week-end et l'excellent service.

Thank you Diane for your positive review. We have 3 three dinning chairs. Diane's family has 4 members. I thought they could lower one bar stool to become a dinning chair. In the current trend, the property owners are more creative to have furniture mixed and matched. It does not need to have 4v dinning chairs like traditional way. Thank you for your business.

A great property in a perfect location!
This property was in a perfect location to visit Ottawa or the Quebec side. We were visiting family based in Aylmer and were able to get there easily, and also meet at Byward Market very quickly. We also had a perfect view of the fireworks held outside the Parliament buildings on Wednesday and Saturday night. The apartment was spacious and accommodated 5 of us easily (2 in each room and one on the couch). We only had breakfast in the apartment and didn't use any of the appliances. The grocer on the main floor was incredibly convenient and we didn't have to waste time driving to a grocery store (ice, bread, cereal, lactose free milk, laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc) Amy was very friendly and efficient. She did a good job welcoming us, gave us an orientation to the ins/ outs of the building. It was a great place and I would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

The condo was clean and bright. The views were spectacular.
Well located across from a lovely park and walking trails, the condo provided easy access to both Ottawa and Hull. The unit is quiet and comfortable although a little sparse when compared to other VRBO homes I have stayed in. Beds were comfortable and all kitchen appliances worked well. The property owner was there to greet us and show us the condo. I would recommend this to any couple or family seeking a comfortable place in the Ottawa-Hull area.

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 18, 2020
Thanks to Nadia and her gang (two couples) for booking with us. For $125 a day and only $40 for extra two guests (total is $160) is very reasonable comparing to staying in the hotel. They have cooking facilities and two separate rooms to sleep. Unfortunately it was 38 degree during the weekend of July 23. Even with our 4-year old forced-air Air-Conditioning and Heating unit, it was challenging to keep 1,200 square feet Condo very cool in this extreme hot weather condition (Usually we have 24-27 degree during summer in the past years, but it is extremely humid and hot this summer, thanks to the global warming). We will purchase a standing fan to circulate the air around the condo and we hope that it might help. However, the lack of functioning of A/C was due to not fully aware how to operate the A/C. I noticed that they did not adjust the temperature to 24 . I saw the reading was 29, also only in a mode of fan but not in cooling mode. Anyway, they should have had communicated with me and we would definitely add a fan. For the pillow cases, we have 6 pillows for 4 people, we thought it should be sufficient. Anyway, we will purchase two more pillows. In terms of towels, we placed some washed towels and some new towels just out of boxes. So far, we have not heard any complaint about the towels. The past guests always liked the quality and cleanness of the towels that they had been used. In any means, we will pay more attention in future. In conclusion, we appreciate Nadia's business and we will fully be equipped when they come back again!! Thank you for the feedback, Nadia.

SUPER!
We had a very good time in the condo. The view is just WOW! from the 17th floor, on the river, Parliament Hill, and Ottawa city. Perfect location if you travel by bike, with cycling paths on either side of the river and crossing the bridges. That's the easiest way to go around! And there is a secure room in the parking for the bikes. Everything was clean. The beds were confortable. The condo had just been renovated. The owner could easily be reached by phone before and during our stay. The indoor parking was a plus. 1 little negative aspect : Internet wasn't connected yet when we were staying in the condo. It was mentioned by the owner only on our arrival, and not before. She said it should be fixed soon. 2 things to improve : 1) the kitchen would need more cooking stuff to be able to cook and eat properly (cooking ustensils, pots and pans of different sizes, cheese grater, more plates and bowls, etc.) It was appreciated to have some basics (salt and pepped, coffee) but a few more items would have made us feel more at home. 2) There were no table and regular chairs. Only high stools around the counter, not very confortable for long meals... This was particularly an issue with our 2 years old! Thanks for the stay Amy! Sophie, François and Antoine
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 18, 2020
Thank you Sophie to provide your honest comments. I truly appreciate it. Yes, the internet connection has been fixed since date of your departure. Moreover, due to recent modern kitchen renovation completed in our condo, the granite counter is designed as kitchen dining table with stools. Initially, we did not want to cluster our living room with another set of dinning set. But I have bought another dining table with 3 chairs. Regarding pots, pans and other essential cooking facilities, we have bought them. Anyway for the items other than coffee, sugar, pepper and salt, we are very careful to provide these items because some guests may be allergic to some food items. Due to the liability issue on our part, we will not supply other items other than what we have already had.

Trèe agréable
Séjour de très bonne qualité. Belles prestations à l'intérieur et vue superbe sur la rivière des Outaouais et le Parlement canadien. La propriétaire est accueillante et de bon conseil. A recommander sans hésitation!
