Host review score

This property is a home away from home. Elegant, quiet, clean, spacious, stylish and chock full of amenities. Offers more than most! It was built in 1930 but have undergone several renovations to give it a modern feel. The most recent renovation took place in 2016 when the bathroom was gutted and redone.
Elcho is a born host and socialite. Dan, her husband, is a suitable back up person. Between them you have 90% of the go-to resources that you need to know about exploring Ottawa.
Located minutes walk from the downtown core and shopping district, Parliament Hill, the National Galleries and Art Centres as well as the Shaw Centre as well as most embassies and high commissions. Families with children, singles, couples, seniors all live here and get along. It feels like suburbia even though we are downtown. Its an urban oasis.
