Nice little inn / Airbnb place. Big house on a quiet street about 10 minutes walk from the greyhound /viarail station, 20 minutes from the downtown, and 40 minutes from the horshoe falls (the Canadian majestic Niagara falls)
The owner, Li, was very friendly, and delightful. The place is nice, as advertised in pictures, comfortable and clean. She provided many essentials and a few extra touches.
Our room was brightly lit from natural light. And even had a TV with Netflix. That's a great touch!
I felt that the house was designed with the owner (smaller lady) in mind. I constantly had to kneel to see my face in the mirror, the shower felt cramped and the toilet bowl was small too. And I'm around 6 feet, nothing too tall.
We also had a weird incident, the shower knob was loose so I couldn't get hot water or turn it off. This happened at 1 AM so it was kind of annoying and I didn't wanna disturb the host. But she was a champ! She was quick to come, apologetic and tried her best to fix it till 2 AM and eventually decided cut the water supply till the morning. Now, I am sure that this was a one off incident so don't want to judge her...

Read moreThe hostess insisted we take off our shoes immediately upon entering. This is not mentioned anywhere on her listing. She then informed us that it is the practice of every BNB in Canada!
We asked if we could wear our shoes just to carry our suitcases up the staircase as we were at the start of a 3 week trip around Canada and didn't want a broken toe or sore foot to slow us down.
Although we showed her the bottom of our shoes had no dirt or stones, she became angry, raising her voice and telling us we could find somewhere else to stay.
This was inappropriate as we had quietly and calmly said we would be happy to take our shoes off after getting the cases upstairs.
If you have ever dropped a fully laden hard shell Samsonite suitcase on your foot, you'll understand why we wanted to have shoes on to carry them upstairs!
We felt unwelcome and unwanted. Not nice.
A pity because the accomodation and location are...
