The place was perfectly located just south of U of A. Lots of on street parking. It was very clean and very quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

Prompt response from host. Never received the parking pass, luckily never got a parking ticket. Location to U of A was excellent but lots of maintenance issues that need to be addressed.
The lock on the door didn’t work. I called the emergency number and they said they would call back. Then I got a message they had to cancel my reservation. They wouldn’t answer my calls or messages. Totally unacceptable.

Family vacation
I had 3 children in the age ranges 1,2,10 and we supposedly had noise complaints. I have babies they will be loud without control. I thought that was ridiculous. We then had a bed break while my kids were sleeping and it took until 5pm for them just to put a cinder block under the bed. It was ok for the few days we were there but next time I don’t think we’ll choose this house.
