About this property

Welcome to our Downtown Dwelling! This home is located 4 blocks from Washington Park in the heart of downtown Ottawa. Enjoy your day hiking the trails and seeing the beautiful waterfalls at Starved Rock State Park, then come back and take a short stroll downtown to enjoy the numerous festivities and restaurants Ottawa has to offer!

This house is cozy and comfortable, being roughly 600 square feet total. It offers a full sized kitchen, with everything needed to cook a family dinner. Beautifully remodeled bathroom with stand-up, walk-in shower. We offer a queen size bed with ample storage for clothes and a dedicated work space for traveling workers. In the living room we offer a queen sized pull out couch with a 55 inch TV and plenty of games for the kids.

Additional info:
Although we are pet friendly, we do require a one time pet fee of $75.

We love sharing our home with all our guests. However, due to prior disrespectful renters and property damage we will only accept booking requests from:
-- Renters who are above the age of 22.
--Renters who will be staying during the reservation and are not booking for someone else.

Our home is located in the heart of downtown Ottawa. With this location, comes train noise. We are right next to an abandoned train track, which should not provide any noise. However, we are about 3 blocks from an active train track. Whistles may be heard every few hours throughout the day and night. They are faint but still may be noticeable if you are not used that kind of noise. We do provide a noise machine and earplugs for guests who may be light sleepers.

Everything We Needed!

The location was great! We were able to walk to multiple restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. The house was also perfect. Kuerig and tea were a nice touch. Owner was really responsive when we had a wifi issue and even offered to stop by. Only downside was the couch. Its meant to be a pullout and isnt very comfy to relax on. We would stay here again for sure.

Clean

We were coming into town for the weekend for a wedding and needed a last minute place to stay that was pet friendly. This home was perfect for our needs. It was exactly as listed. Location was close to everything, neighborhood was quiet, house was clean. The owners were very responsive and nice. If we had the need we would definitely stay at this house again. Thank you so much for hosting us Matt and Steph.
