Why the Owner Chose Calgary
I moved to Calgary to be close to my passions. I love the extremes of a city life complete with spas and fine dining as well as extreme wilderness and solitude. I walk many miles across mountains and through alpine valleys. In the winter I can snowshoe many of those same trails. Banff offers some of the best downhill skiing in the world. At the end of a day I can take in a spa massage, walk along the river or catch a great Italian meal just across the street. Life doesn't get much better than that.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
This location is ideal for travellers, business people or newcomers to Canada. Downtown means you are close to all the services of modern day life. Need a bank, a drugstore,a dentist, a hospital, a haircut, groceries or a bottle of wine? All are just out the front door or close by. Need some quiet down time? Maybe a spa day, a picnic in the park, a quiet tree lined stroll by the river, a jogging path or a gym workout? Also just out the front door. Like to cook? The condo is ready for your culinary skills. Rather eat out or have something catered in? What can I say it is all out your front door.
If you are catching the Folk Festival, Shakespeare in the park or any of the many musical events that occur at Prince's Island you are within a 10-15 minute walk along the river pathway. Taking in the Stampede? The C Train will take you there and bring you home. Avoid the traffic hassles!
Maybe a day in the Rockies at Banff or Lake Louise is on your list of "must do's" No panic the route to the Trans Canada is a straight shot across the bridge. Parking downtown isn't a problem because you have your downtown parking spot reserved in a secure parkade. This location is ideal for couples of any age, mobility challenged guests will find the secure parkade and elevator useful. Very young babes in arms or older children will do well here. You can enjoy Calgary without a vehicle in this location. The C train and public bus system is ...you guessed it... out the front door or very close by. That said, I would be remiss if I didn't encourage you to rent a car or take the bus to Banff and Lake Louise for the day. It isn't out the front door but it is soooo close.
10 minute walk along the Bow River Pathway to this beautiful island Park.
Straight up 10th, left on the Trans Canada #1 and you are on your way to Banff,Lake Louise, Kananaskis, Columbia Ice Fields, Jasper. Hospital signs are clearly marked
Walking area, restaurants, watch the ducks and geese at play on the river. YMCA in this location with a full size Olympic Pool and state of the art gym. 15 minute walk.

My overall impression was that the condo exceeded our expectations as it was obvious from first entering that it was a high quality, very clean and modern rental. We were very pleased that every conceivable measure had been taken to provide everything you would require on vacation and making it a home from home. The convenience of the location combined with excellent parking facilities meant we could come and go with ease whether by foot or by car. The furnishings, beds, kitchen utilities and bathrooms were very good and everything operated perfectly.

I was very impressed by how clean the unit was and I did not feel like I had to clean everything once I got there. We were sure glad that you were there to let us in. We like the downtown location to walk to the park, shopping or restaurants.

My first impressions were "new" "pristine" and "what a great view"! The condo met all of my expectations. The pictures and descriptions were very accurate. It was well equipped and I appreciated the extra touches, like the spare toiletries and Stampede tickets. I really liked being able to walk and jog along the river.
