The house is great. The location isn't the greatest. One thing we were not aware of was that other people could be staying there. I didn't read that in the write up but maybe I didn't
My siblings and our spouses and children came to Thunder Bay to spend Christmas with our mom. This house fit us all (4 adults and 5 children) perfectly. There was so much space we never felt cramped. Plenty on rooms, and all the rooms are large. Plenty of seating in the living room and a good size kitchen for us to all gather and cook together. We had an amazing Christmas and made great memories.
This is a great house, especially for a large group.
The place is large and feels specious with a great backyard.
Nadia was great to deal with and accommodated our requests.
Would definitely stay here again
House is exactly as described. Unfortunately, it's near a large homeless encampment. Some of my group members could not sleep after seeing the obviously tweaked locals roaming the streets. No property crime or theft was committed during our stay.
The house is very adorable, spacious, and great decorating. It had everything my family needed in there; everyone had their own bedroom, there was enough bathrooms no one had to wait, and the kitchen was very nice with a table to eat at.
The WiFi was a bit spotty at times. And there is no A/C, and it got hot! I don't do well with heat, which is why we go north for summer vacations. I did not feel safe keeping the downstairs windows open at night and we had to watch the temps outside to open the windows upstairs at night. Which lead to two other issues, one not all the window locks work. And two, we were woken up 5 out of the 7 mornings from people yelling. I can sleep through birds and sleep through the trains, but not people yelling at each other. There were plenty of times I was sitting in the house sweating, even with a fan on.
The location was out last favorite part and put a damper on the vacation. It's not so much that there was a tent city within a block of the house, but with people yelling and swearing right outside our house, we didn't feel safe. We didn't feel safe to go on a walk, or use the bus stops (that seemed to be where most of the yelling came from). We were enjoying one morning in the cute side yard and someone was screaming at someone else. We had to pull the kids inside so they didn't hear the arguing and swearing between two adults.
We would like to visit Thunder Bay again, but next time a better neighborhood and one with A/C.
