Although some things in the house are a bit outdated, as can be read in the description, this doesn't detract from the house's charm.The location is perfect, even when you travel with small children. You can easily walk to the historic city center, but also to The University Parks and Burgess Field/Port Meadows are close by. The host is friendly and easily accessible. I would book the house again if we ever return. ##### T Z.
