Not what we were expecting!

First of all the Expedia description said “hotel” - Nowhere did it say “air bnb”. Looking at the pictures it did look like a house but no description saying each room had its own bathroom, fridge, microwave. It did NOT say anywhere that there would be two cats and a large dog either! It DID say parking (which was on the street), and it DID say WiFi but we were not informed of the password nor an explanation of anything except the remote candles! The room floor was being cleaned as we entered even though the woman who owned the house knew we were coming a day before! The sheets were wrinkled and the bathroom had a burnt outlet and a toilet rim that was not clean underneath. The floor, the sheets, the cats, and the bathroom issues all made it feel unclean. The ONE good thing was that the bed was a king size (not double like the ad said) and very comfy!

This should not be on your website and a B &B. I am not asking you to share this but you need to check it out if it is on your website. This place is not fit for people to stay in, difficult stating how comfortable as we left after seeing what it was like.

Nice stay but not what I expected.

This is a very nice place to stay, Carolyn was welcoming, the room and bed were comfortable, and the location was good for our itinerary. I didn't mind returning the cat that bolted when I opened the door or shooing the cats from our room. My only disappointment was that the description of the property and room amenities seemed to be intentionally misleading. I would not have booked this room had I known it was a shared bathroom, the description led me to believe it has it's own. This is a home in a residential community where the upstairs bedrooms are used for hotel guests. We have done that before through other sites and I don't mind it because I'm careful to choose a room with it's own bathroom. As long as one is aware of the conditions, I would recommend this place to others. This place deserves it's good ratings as long as they update the room description.

A Great Choice for My 8 Day Stay in YYC

The proprietor was very nice, and it was great to have access to a kitchen while I was visiting Calgary. I was relying on the Calgary transit system while I was there, and it was handy to a bus stop and the Bridlewood/Somerset station of the C-train line, so it was easy to get around town and to the downtown attractions and Stampede Park even from a location in the far south of the city. If people do not like animals (cats/dogs) then they should not pick this lodging option, but otherwise, I would highly recommend it. It was adequate for the needs of my extended stay and was a really good value.

Carolyn was a wonderful host! She welcomed us and our puppy and made us feel right at home. Her dogs and cats are very friendly, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the whole atmosphere exceeds anything a chain hotel could offer. Thanks for having us!

Not what I expected

This wasn't horrible but it was not good. The hostess left a booklet in the room with basic instructions and that was the only interaction we had with her outside the pre stay texts. The bed was very comfortable as promised but through her booklet I felt she really wanted to sell me one. There were no towels in our room but I was able to snag a couple from the rack in the hallway. It wasn't really clear that I should do that but I needed them. The worst part, though, was that I wasn't aware that we would be sharing the bathroom with the room next door. It wasn't a problem as the other room seemed to be unoccupied anyway, but I wouldn't have booked it had I known beforehand. The last night we were there we were unable to get in but luckily someone else who was staying there came along and showed us the 'trick' to open the door. I knew that this was not a hotel and I was not expecting to be catered to but it seemed unprofessional at best. Oh yes! The window was nailed shut and the refrigerator in the room was not working.

Terrible!

Where to start? No toilet paper in bathroom, multiple hairs in tub/shower, filthy floors throughout house, unusable microwave, bugs on my bed, and next to zero hot water pressure - I was lucky to wash my face and brush teeth. Also woke to a freezing room with no extra bedding. Unsuitable for a stay.

Solo stay

It was great for me as a solo stay. Close to Spruce Meadows and not far from other amenities. Nice little corner store just down the street. I checked in late and left early and arrived back late every night so I did not see anyone except for the third nite. I stayed a total of 5 nights.

When we arrive the room was smelly and the bed was nicely fixed but it looks like the beddings were not changed for new user as compared to the other room beside it. That is why we decided to sleep in the car.

One of the Best

I travel a lot for business and enjoy home stay. Where else will you meet a vacationer from China, a triathlete and a Canadian business person sitting around the kitchen table enjoying stories and laughter. Direct Line Accommodations is one of the best. The self check in is great. I never worry about getting there. When I arrive I know my room is ready, no matter the time. The location is excellent. Close to anything you could want to do. Good eats and good shopping or transportation. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. I can honestly say I have never slept on a more comfortable bed or had such a good sleep at any place I've been. Hopefully they won't be booked for my next trip to Calgary.

Convenient location, close to Spruce Meadows

Was looking for something close to Spruce Meadows for a 1 night stay in Calgary, but it was so inexpensive we decided to stay for 2 nights and relax a bit before starting a 3 day drive home. This was comfy and no hassle with coming and going as we pleased. Only downside was I was not crazy about taking out my own garbage, especially as there were no garbage recepticle in either the bedroom or private bath.

Comfy, clean and quiet stay.

Our stay was great, there is a full kitchen in the main floor of the house that we used every day. Our bed was really comfy and our room was quiet and very clean. The owner was working out of town at the time so the communal areas of the home were in need of a bit of TLC. There is always parking available on the street. There is a friendly cat that is living in the house, and one of us is allergic, but we would still stay here again because of all the amenities.

Lovely jewel and cheap!

Little jewel southwards from Calgary and for a very cheap deal! My stay was most satisfying and comfortable in this quiet neighborhood. The hosts were very trusting and open-minded, basically you can use anything in their house. Only two key points, 1) before your stay they will need to contact you through email or phone (so have those available) and 2) pets are running freely around the house (a cat and perhaps two dogs), they are lovely though and they won't bother you at all, so I am just mentioning for allergic people or suffering from zoophobia. Your pets are welcome too!
