A wonderful location, just a few blocks from Sunnyside Station, a supermarket, restaurants, and Prince’s Island Park. The owners were easy to communicate with and very helpful, offering great advice on places to visit and things to do in the area.We especially enjoyed sitting out on the porch and taking in the beautiful garden. As neighbors walked by, they often stopped to tell us how lovely the flowers were—a wonderful reflection of the welcoming atmosphere of the neighborhood. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Very quiet place to be. We needed quiet after a full day at BMO center.Beds are comfortable. Even though it was hot in Calgary the a/c worked well to keep the house cool. When we arrived home we were amazed at how noisy it was at our home in Medicine Hat compared to where we stayed in Calgary.Overall an anjoyable stay. I would recommend to anyone.Thanks Cathy

Our stay at the Urban Cottage was simply outstanding. The home is inviting, cozy and equipped with everything we needed. The property and yard are very attractive and in fact, was awarded a prize for the best Christmas decorations in the entire neighbourhood. The central location was walking distance to parks, playgrounds, restaurants and shopping. Our hosts were very friendly, responsive and accommodating. We look forward to staying at the Cottage again.
