Niagara on the Lake
House was clean. Had everything we needed. Lots of good information from the host. Nice quiet neighborhood close to everything. The only real negative was that two of the three bedrooms were upstairs and the bathrooms were on the lower level. We are all 75+ and we usually have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. It was difficult and dangerous.
