Maison Quartier À propos de nous Destination

Maison

We own a large (1700 square foot/158 sq. meter) 3-bedroom Victorian home on a quiet, tree lined, street in the city centre. Our location allows you to enjoy the peacefulness of a quiet street and yet be able to walk to all attractions and city amenities within 15 minutes. On the main floor there is a welcoming entryway which leads down the main hall, past our home office (with Internet, stereo, VCR, fax and TV) one of our two full bathrooms and into our large, sun-drenched, eat-in kitchen. It contains a gas stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffeemaker and all other modern cooking conveniences. The kitchen leads into our family room complete with Queen size pull out sofa, large TV, stereo, and two patio doors that are the gateway to our private garden. We have a deck with gas bar-b-que, table and chairs (perfect for morning coffee) and a 100 year old maple tree which provides shade and privacy during the summer months. The second floor contains three bedrooms, two with queen sized beds, one baby's room with cribe and change table. A single or double mattress could be placed in this room if required. Also on the floor is the second bathroom. Laundry facilities are in the basement. The house has central air conditioning for the summer months and gas heat in the winter.

Quartier

Ottawa is Canada's capital and one of the most beautiful cities in Canada. As the national capital, Ottawa has all the amenities you would expect. There are 17 national museums (11 within walking distance from our home) 5 art galleries, 10 drama and stage theaters, the National Performing Arts Center (Orchestra, Ballet Concerts), and Parliament Hill. Due to our location between Québec & Ontario, our city is perfectly bilingual in English & French. Even though we live in the heart of the city, we are never more than a few minutes from Canada's famous natural beauty. Ottawa is a city devoted to nature. There are 450 kms of nature trails, 250 kms of paved bike paths, 12 fresh water beaches, federal and provincial parks, and recreational activities such as whitewater rafting and boat rentals minutes from the downtown. Ottawa is ideally located 2 hours west of Montreal (an easy day trip) , 1 hour north of the American boarder (New York’s White Mountains) and equal distant between Toronto (Canada's largest city) and Quebec City (Ottawa's rival for Canada's most beautiful city).

We live in Centretown. We are a short walk to grocery stores, resturants, shops, nightclubs, pubs, musuems, the Parliament Buildings, cafes and public transportation.

Ottawa is the perfect city for both romantic and family vacations. Discover the picturesque picnic places, walk through the amazing gardens at Rideau Hall, stroll beside the festive canal or lose yourself at the casinos. Ottawa is “The Canadian Family Destination”. From outdoor activities to national museums, families flock to Ottawa because of its child-friendly atmosphere. If you love nature you can be hiking or camping deep in the Canadian wilderness within 15 minutes drive from our house. We often go camping and have all the equipment we can lend to you so that you can experience the great outdoors and maybe even see moose, elk, beaver or the famous northern lights (aurora borealis).

Ideally, we would like to exchange with a family who also has young childern although this is not a requirement. We would like to exchange homes for 3 or 4 weeks during the summer, and on weekends or school holidays. As a school teacher, summers and holidays are the only times I am available for extended travel. If you decide not to travel this year but have family or friends who may be interested, please pass along our information to them.

We are experienced home exchangers (this will be our 7th exchange in six years, 6 of which have been to different parts of Europe – Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Austria & France - and we have made great friends through our home exchange partnerships.
