The property is located in a quiet suburb away from the downtown. The C-train station is a 5 minute drive away. The unit is well appointed with every convenience you might need and the hosts are easy to contact. We would recommend this unit to anyone for a short or a long stay in Calgary.

Enjoyable Stay Despite Problems with Check-In

This was a nice, clean suite in a safe neighbourhood. It had everything we needed, including lots of towels and extra bedding. It was also great to have a parking spot in the house’s driveway. Unfortunately, we had a really negative check-in experience: we had been delayed due to severe weather and arrived late at night—then couldn’t find a place to enter the key code we’d been give. We tried texting, calling and even ringing the doorbell but received no reply (until the following day). Finally, we figured out how to use a concealed key pad at the back of the house (down some very snowy steps!). After we got inside, everything was fine.

Clean but Uncomfortable Experience

The apartment was extremely clean and well appointed - it had everything you could possibly need, including small kitchen appliances and cooking utensils. The only complaint about the space would be that the bathroom (and especially the vanity) is tiny - I stayed there alone so it was fine but it would be very hard for a family to share. However, the host asked me to complete a three page checklist immediately upon checkin certifying the condition of EVERYTHING in the apartment when I moved in. When I protested that I couldn’t certify the condition, having not yet used everything, he offered to come down to help me check (which I refused). I found this strange and was concerned that if I did encounter any issues during my stay, I’d be held responsible for them rather than being helped to resolve them. Ultimately I didn’t have any issues but I really didn’t appreciate this. There was also an alarm on the door to the utility room and electrical cabinet, to prevent guest access to these areas, which is fine, but the alarm went off during my stay when I had not touched either of these doors, and it was very disruptive. There are also young kids in the house upstairs so there was sometimes a lot of noise coming from the upper floors.

Wonderful experience! All is exactly as described in the listing.

We stayed 4 nights here and couldn’t be happier! Very, very clean! This is a beautiful suite, with many thoughtful extras to make our stay more comfortable. The owner is extremely responsive to messages, and was able to meet our request very quickly. It’s only an 8 minute walk to the Silverado shopping centre where there is a Sobeys, Sobeys Liquor, Shoppers Drug Mart, and 7 restaurants including Kildares Ale House, Holy Grill, Dairy Queen etc. It’s also only 5 minute drive to MacLeod Trail & Stoney Trail. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio enjoying a quiet coffee and looking at the pond and walking paths. We highly recommended!

First class, well above our already high expectations

Wonderfully well kept, provisions more than one can want, clean, comfortable, convenient, quiet. Walking path right there plus surrounding countryside makes it nice. We were thoroughly blessed in using Dapy and family’s separate apartment.

Clean and nice location

This was a great property to stay at. Very nice area overlooking a greenspace. Was too cold to use the patio for our time there. Had everything we needed for our stay. Only issue I had was I was told it was scent-free but all the linens had been washed in scented laundry detergent which caused me some issues as I am very allergic to scented products.

This is truly a hidden gem. The property is spacious and very well equipped - the owners have clearly thought about what one might or will need when staying. Having a private, covered sitting area with a bbq and a view of the park like walk ways is an added bonus. The location is highly walkable - just 15 minutes to a full service grocery store, liquor store, pharmacy, bank, fast food outlets and a nice pub. The owner responded quickly to any questions and was very helpful. We will definitely stay here again.
