Appreciated being able to book the basement suite - wish we could've stayed longer to enjoy all the amenities! Great location to explore Calgary from and lots of great restaurants within walking distance.
Everything was good. It was clean, tidy, and comfortable for the stay. Check-in was smooth, and the host was always responsive. Overall, we had a pleasant experience.
Keep in mind we only stayed one night.Pros*Easy parking*Lower cost than hotel*Walking distance to many restaurants *Easy to access the property/roomCons*Very cold*Sofa bed not behind a locked door*Felt like too many communications via text and VRBO
Great value for what we paid. Everything was clean and comfortable. Only thing that might be nice is a little more separation in the downstairs unit- something to keep a bit of the noise from the common areas out?
Very clean and well located if you're visiting Calgary! We stayed here for the stampede so didn't spend too much time in the unit but a TV would have been nice to have for some down time! The pull out sofa was actually very comfortable and spacious same with the bed in the bedroom. The only thing we didn't love was the lack of privacy leading towards the basement unit. There is no door which I found off putting.

Why they chose this property
We bought the house where we met in 2022, when we arrived to Calgary (this original house is across the street though, but you can ask us more details about it!). What we love about our neighbordhood is that it is a peaceful and it has a perfect balance: few steps away from the downtown, but at the same time it is a residential and quiet area. We have everything near us, within a walking distance!
What makes this property unique
Our house is nicely decorated with a Nature Theme. You will find wallpapers and plants around the house. We also keep every area very clean and organized. We also offer additional ammenities and gifts for our guests. That is why many of our guests have described our property as staying in a nice hotel, for a fraction of the price!
