JstLikeHome - Old Town

I was satisfied with the price, location, and number of sleeping places.It was very nice to see air conditioning and a good selection of TV entertainment. Extra toilet paper was provided, and the towels were neatly folded.

The apartment was superficially cleaned. It did not affect the stay itself, but it caused some discomfort. There were not enough towels and blankets. The apartment has 8 sleeping places, but there were only 3 blankets. A kettle was also missing. It would be nice to have a basic tea set (tea bags, a few sugar packets). In Europe, even in very cheap apartments, this minimal set is usually always provided.

Connexion Wi-Fi rapide, bon nombre de lits pour tous les membres de ma famille

Pas d'air climatisé dans toutes les chambres, équipements assez vétustes, parking éloigné

The property’s location was excellent, with convenient access to shopping, dining, and other amenities nearby

While the location was convenient, the property itself was quite outdated and in need of maintenance. The beds were uncomfortable, which made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Some areas of the flooring were lifting and appeared to require repair. The sofas were noticeably worn and would benefit from a deep cleaning or replacement. Additionally, several window screens were missing or needed to be reinstalled, and I was concerned that smoke detectors appeared to be missing from the property. Another concern was the neighboring rehabilitation facility. There was noticeable foot traffic around the area at night, which at times made the surroundings feel less comfortable than expected. Overall, the property would benefit from updates, improved maintenance, and attention to safety-related items.

The location is close to city centre

The cleanliness is not good and one of the room has no door

The location is excellent; it is perfectly pleasant to walk to downtown Ottawa, there is a bus stop right out front, and markets nearby. The place is very quiet and private.

The cleaning was severely lacking: the bathroom was very dirty, and the bedroom was unclean—we even found cigarette butts and an empty juice bottle in one of the rooms. We slept in one bed on the first night, which was terrible; later, we moved to the other bedroom, where the bed was merely acceptable. The area outside the apartment was littered with trash and cigarette butts—though not *inside* the unit, it would not have been difficult to clean up. The oven was dirty, as were some of the kitchen utensils; the coffee maker still contained old grounds and was moldy, while the toaster was completely rusted. The heating system was very weak and lacked temperature controls; we requested extra heaters, but the host took over a day to deliver them, leaving us wearing cold-weather clothing throughout our entire stay. Furthermore, the closets offered no space to store anything, as they were packed full of empty appliance boxes. This accommodation is priced well below the average rate in Ottawa, making it a viable option if you are looking for a budget-friendly stay and do not mind overlooking these specific details.

My father and I went in to look at it. It was nothing like the pictures. It was scary and he didn't think it was safe to spend the night. The roof top access to the kitchen did not feel safe. The parking was a block and a half away.

l'appartement est spacieuse , bon pour recevoir une grande famille.

l'état des meubles du salon ainsi que les lits dans les chambres sont à changer , non confortables. Nous avons mal dormi toute la nuit. l'évacuation de l'eau dans le lavabo est à revoir car il bouche même après avoir brossé les dents. Revoir aussi le système de chasse pour la cuve. Télécommande de la télé non disponible, impossibilité de l'ouvrir.

Nothing

I understand this was a budget stay, so I expected some compromises, but unfortunately this place was far worse than expected. The biggest issue was that the fridge did not work during our entire 2-night stay. We had brought cooked food for ourselves and especially for our toddler, and most of it had to be thrown away. The host kept saying it would be fixed, but nothing was ever done. In the end, whatever money we saved by booking a cheaper place was spent again on buying food outside. The bathroom door was also broken when we arrived. To be fair, that issue was eventually fixed after we reported it, but it should not have been in that condition in the first place. The overall cleanliness of the place was very poor — we even found someone’s used trousers hidden under the sofa cushions, which was honestly disgusting. There were also small insects in the kitchen area, and all of the sofas had visible stains on them, making the entire place feel unclean and poorly maintained. The place was noisy as well, although considering the price point, that was something we could tolerate. What was most disappointing was that after all these issues, there was no apology, compensation, or refund offered by the host. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience, and I would not recommend anyone to book this place.

Nous avons fait l'erreur de lire les commentaires après notre réservation et notre réaction fut: on ne va pas prendre le risque de dormir dans ce lieu avec notre enfant de 3 ans. En effet, d'après certains commentaires, le logement présentait même des équipements pas très aux normes. Alors nous avons préféré louer un autre lieu
