Loft in Ottawa

Artful Canal/Glebe Loft | Sunny, Scenic & Central

Lean back on a leather chaise sofa and be submerged in daylight from a set of corner windows in this hip apartment. Fix a cup of coffee in a warm kitchen, walk across light wood floors, and step out onto the balcony for fresh air and lovely views. Amazing views of the Canal, Bank Street bridge, Lansdowne Park and Old Ottawa South. Bright, modern condo with extra space created with a 'murphy bed' style bedroom, stylishly camouflaged. Cool kitchen & custom table to people watch on the street below, coffee in hand. Equipped with apple tv. in cozy lvng rm area, sorry no cable, hate commercials. The balcony is a sweet place to sit and enjoy a moment with a great view of the neighbourhood. Full access. The building itself has no amenities inside. No laundry services available on site. If you have any questions feel free to get in touch with either myself or my co hosts Phil and Mark via text or phone call. The apartment is located beside Lansdowne Park, facing the Canal and Bank Street Bridge. It sits between Old Ottawa South and The Glebe, surrounded by idyllic homes, quiet streets, parks, and ponds. Restaurants, shops, and bars are just steps away. Bus stop is directly in front of building and is a10 min ride to the Byward Market. Best way to get around is ice skating 100 meters away or bicycle anywhere for summer, you are in the best part of town and within easy striking distance to whatever neighborhood your travels take you to. The city has convenient bike rental kiosks set up in key locations. I don't have a dedicated parking space on site. There are 2 on site visitor parking spaces that are available on a first come first serve basis. If neither spot is available grab a street spot (it’s free but has a 2 hour time limit during the day from 7am-11pm, and no time limits overnight) and keep an eye on visitor spots as they come available many times a day. If you don't want to play that game you can use the under ground parking lot across the street and pay the daily rate which I believe is about $20. -There are black out shades in bedroom area but it gets bright in the morning if the sun is out so if you are the kind of person that requires complete darkness to sleep stay away. -I don't have a dedicated parking space on site. There are 2 visitor parking spaces that are available on a first come first serve basis. If neither spot is available grab a free street spot (2 hour time limits during the day from 7am-11pm, no time limits overnight) and keep an eye on visitor spots as they come available many times a day. If you don't want to play that game you can use the under ground parking lot across the street and pay the 20$ daily rate. -The heating and cooling is Geothermal. The AC works perfectly 95% of the time. If its unusually hot out the unit may have a little trouble keeping up to the demand. For example if its set to 22 degrees, the unit may only be able to provide a temperature of 24 degrees during the daytime due to the load requirements. In the evening when things cool off the unit will catch up to the set temperature. But, keep in mind, this type of problem is rare.

Beautiful Rideau Canal Unit With Parking

AndrewRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Perfect location for those who want be within walking distance of Elgin Street and Landsdowne Park. Also great location if activities are at the University of Ottawa. Even Sparks St, Parliament Hill and the By Ward Market are not too long walks. Located along on Colonel By Drive so easy access to canal paths and perfect to take advantage of the summer closure of the canal parkways for biking. For there summer (2025) there is a lot of construction (sewer/water mains work) in this part of Ottawa. Noise from the construction was no issue for our weekend stay. However, random road closes can make access (at least following Google Maps navigation) a bit challenging. Just check with the host prior to your arrival for notice of any key road closures. Ince this construction is complete, the home has easy access to both canal parkways, downtown core and Hwy 417.

A comfortable seating area is presented with a gray couch accented by decorative pillows and positioned against a light-colored wall. Two wooden side tables feature a small plant and a decorative vase. Soft lighting is provided by a tall floor lamp.

I had a long stay at Hanan's (four weeks), and she made sure that everything was perfect: quiet, clean, safe, nice, completely hassle free, just exactly what I needed at the time. She's also just incredibly nice and friendly, and went above and beyond to be make sure I was comfortable. Would highly recommend staying here for any duration of time, it's in a location with connections that makes it very easy to get downtown, or any other place in Ottawa.

Brenan's place was perfect for our one-week stay in Ottawa. It was clean, comfortable and convenient. Situated on a quiet street, it’s within easy walking distance to a grocery store (Loblaws), LCBO, restaurants and a shopping mall. The kitchen had everything we needed and Brenan was welcoming, friendly and generous, letting us use his BBQ so we could eat outdoors and enjoy his lovely backyard. We definitely recommend Brenan's place for a great west end location.
