We had a fantastic family stay at Nef’s property! The location is excellent, within walking distance of several restaurants and a great local park that the kids loved. The home is impeccably maintained and very well-equipped.
We stayed in the basement unit, which offered great privacy with its own washroom and a kitchenette stocked with everything you’d need (Brita, coffee machine, microwave, and fridge). We really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the welcome candies and the fully stocked toiletries—Nef truly thought of everything, including disposable razors and toothbrushes. Having access to a full laundry and the shared first-floor living room for evening TV was a huge plus.
Communication was seamless; Nef was incredibly responsive and provided all the information we needed for a disruption-free stay. Highly recommended for families!
