Neighbourhood
Old Ottawa South is ideal for visitors to Ottawa. It is central to museums, festivals, restaurants, shops and other National Capital Region attractions. At the same time, it's a delightfully quiet and walkable neighbourhood of old houses on tree-lined streets. Our house is one block from the historic Rideau Canal, with its flower gardens and walking/cycling paths leading to the 26-hectare Dominion Arboretum in one direction and Parliament Hill and the Byward Market in the other. Landsdowne Park is a short walk from our house; it offers sports, shops and cultural events. There are local farmers markets nearby on Saturday in summers and Sunday year-round. Three universities - Carleton, Ottawa and St Paul’s - are a short distance away. Drive 20 min along a scenic route to reach Gatineau Park, a 360 square km park with lakes, beaches and trails for hiking, biking and skiing. Several family parks nearby: Brewer with its playground and water park, Windsor with tennis courts and playground, and Landsdowne with playground and skateboarding.
Nearest airport
Our house is a 15 min cab ride from either the airport or train station.
Getting around
Buses would take you down Bank St (four blocks away) to downtown in 20 min (Parliament Hill, museums, art galleries, Byward Market etc). The O-Train, an above-ground train, would take you from Carleton University (eight blocks away) to the Ottawa River, Little Italy, Chinatown, war museum and other destinations. There are bike paths along the Rideau Canal one block away, and on the Rideau River seven blocks away; both connect to a huge network of trails throughout the region.

We want to explore the natural beauty of a region (hiking mainly, but we love paddling, swimming and cycling too), see old villages and the occasional city for cultural attractions, eat good food, and for one of us, do long day trips on bike (cycle touring).
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
