This house as fantastic. The location in Banff is truly unbeatable -- a 3-10 minute walk to all restaurants and shops downtown. The host was a fantastic communicator, giving us her personal number to text if we needed anything. The space was very clean and has most everything you need (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, cooking supplies). The one note to keep in mind is the kitchen has two stovetop burners but no oven or grill. Not the easiest for cooking full dinners, though great for making breakfasts and lunches!

Extremely welcoming host and amazing accomodation. We stayed there during mid-December and had an amazing time. Place was clean, had a lot of kitchenware for home cooking as well as the facilities to host my family of nine. Place was one street away from shops and resteraunts which was very convenient everyday. Would easily stay there again. 5 Stars!

We are very sorry to hear this! Our neighbourhood is extremely safe, friendly and family oriented. The town of Banff is comprised of several older heritage homes giving the street character.
