Good location & clean
The location was great and allowed us to easily access everything that we wanted to see and do. The interior was clean but not overly well stocked with essentials. It would have been nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the exterior of the property as well, but that was not possible because of its current lack of maintenance.

The property is conveniently located and we were provided what we expected.However there are few things I want to highlight
1. most of the doors (including the upper bath room door) was not getting locked.
2. No dishwasher
3. Bed in the the TV room on upper floor is uncomfortable to sleep.

Affordable but needs some TLC
The good:- location- owner was generally responsive to our queries and did work to rectify some concerns, however was unresponsive when I asked for discount due to concerns (see below)- lots of hot water The bad: - the until needs some general repairs and TLC: back door doesn't fully open, front veranda needs to be washed to allow use, main floor bathroom needs a deep clean, bathtub stopper not working and very dirty (we fixed it ourself while there)- not enough dish towels and dishcloths (was rectified by owner during our stay)- utensils were dirty - temperature on the upper floor is very slow to adjust - lack of extra blankets to keep four beds warm at night - lack of upper sheet on all beds- some portions of the unit were very dirty like the top of the fridges - lack of BBQ- no single sitting/TV room for groups larger than 2 people- Roku streaming device on main floor not working (had to buy an HDMI cable and use our laptop to stream/watch TV)Would not stay again unless above issues are addressed.

Very comfortable
Three generations were able to fully enjoy this Canada Day weekend at this conveniently situated comfortable home, not too far from downtown, but also far enough to be away from the noise at night, when everyone wants to sleep. Two complete kitchens, great washing and drying machines, two perfect showers, not too hot in the summer... As well, Neno's pizza (20m away) rocks!
