“The owners' kindness stands out, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and its location is undeniably ideal for exploring downtown Ottawa and the nearby museums; however, potential guests should note the absence of air conditioning. While this accommodation offers value, particularly for those prioritizing location and personal interaction, be aware that some may find the interiors dated and the lack of air conditioning a drawback.”
