    Great gem in Ottawa. Unit is spacious and the hosts have supplied everything you could possibly need for your stay. Bedding is comfortable, towels are thick and soft, and everything was spotless. The apartment is on a quiet residential street a block away from a park with access to Ottawa's bike path system, and about a 35 minute walk to Parliament and other attractions. Host was very accessible and gracious. Highly recommend!

    No complaints. The location could be incovenient if you have no means of transport, but for me the peaceful location more than made up for the an advantages being closer to the city centre would have offered.

    Quiet location - no noise at night, and close to the park and river. Friendly host, easy check-in. Great amenities.

    Wow! I found Elcho's place at the very last minute. this is what the universe had in store for me. this place is everything and the hosts Elcho and Dan welcomed me as if I was one of their own. they make me feel at home. the house is beyond clean, nice and beautiful. the neighborhood is among the best in the Ottawa area. if you are looking for a place where you can feel so good that you don't want to leave. you found it. at Elcho and Dan, I left my heart.

    For the price paid I had an entire flat with a kitchen, front room , dining room and an extra bedroom for kids. Absolutely loved this place, all toys and games were provided so even though it did NOT stop raining there was still things to do. Parking was right outside, plenty of takeaway options 🤣, honestly one of the nicest places I have stayed and so reasonable! River opposite so plenty to do right outside too !

    A very minor point - not all windows have screens and it might be difficult to ventilate well while keeping bugs out.
