Had the greatest stay at Butterfly Guest House!! The location is amazing and the unit had everything we could need. We even forgot our plug adapter so we couldn't charge our phones and the manager went out and purchased one for the unit so we, and future guests, could use it!

I was not expecting so a large room! There were only 2 of us, but this would have easily slept 5. There was also a nice kitchenette. Jon worked with us to hold the room since our flight was extremely delayed. He made it easy for us to access our room after hours. The property was extremely quiet. I would love the opportunity to come back for another stay.

We had the apartment unit with kitchen and balcony on the top floor (3rd). It was a bit crowded but functional. Our host, Jon, made us feel at home. He had basics including a fresh L off milk in the fridge for us to use. Communication with the host was very easy. There is parking on the street. It costs about less than 1.5 CAD per hour during 9 to 18. When we did not need to load/unload, we parked 1 block over for free 24h. It is 10 minutes to walk to the interesting waterfront restaurants and attractions and also to the downtown pedestrian street. The unit faced the backyard and w found it quiet. When it rained, we could hear the raindrops as we had skylight in our bedroom. The skylight and other windows had Venetian blinds so they were good to sleep in despite the never dark sky in July. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay.
