"We had a good time since the place was close to everything. The falls, places to eat.. etc were all within 10 minutes drive. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our large group."

"Neighborhood, outside of the house, and stairways were sketchy! The inside of the apartment was nice and had enough space. It was great location as far as distance to Niagara, but it did not feel safe. Only down fall inside was that we didn’t get more towels until the last night of our trip. It was priced fairly! Overall the apartment was fine."
