Communication was easy and prompt. The house is in a great location and was perfect for our needs. The downstairs area bedroom mattress is comfortable, yet very sloped at the sides and end. Sink was clogged with hair and the vent fan would not work properly due to cleaning needs, therefore door had to be left open during showers. Overall very nice stay

Great place to stay in Calgary

The location was fantastic, walking distance to the restaurants & stores in Kensington, and easy access to the city and travel outside the core. The house was new, clean & nicely furnished and decorated. Mattresses & linens were great, excellent laundry facilities, good supply of towels, toiletries, laundry & dish soaps etc. Thoughtful assortment of amenities to meet all your needs. We stayed 5 nights.

Terrific Condo!

The Kensington condo is lovely. Well set out, spacious and bed was very comfortable. The fan in the master much appreciated as well. Prince has thought through all the details and created a lovely home away from home. Neighborhood great, close to cafe and restaurants down the road. Definitely recommended for your Calgary stay!

Nice stay. The hot tub is actually a jacuzzi tub in the master! How was attentive when we had a problem with leaky pipe situation, Cleaned up quickly. Very comfortable. Chandelier could use some scrubbing! All else was great, highly recommend Nikos down the street…and the Wine Market. Both easy walking. A new building almost next door will be opening soon and have groceries and other retail!!

Winter stay

Great family property. We had 2 grandparents, 2 parents , and 2 grandchildren ( 9 and 11). The kids loved the lower space with their own bedroom, bathroom, lounge and foosball game. Parents/grandparents enjoyed the top floor with master bedroom and Jacuzzi tub, second bedroom ( ensuite) and roomy laundry room. And we all enjoyed the main floor living/dining/ kitchen ( roomy and well appointed).

Great stay close to Kensington

Great stay close to Kensington. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Place was well furnished, clean and great layout. We arrived in the dark and it was hard to get parking close by. Finding the garage in the back was not fun, driving and pushing the clicker until you find the right one. Would be awesome to have numbers back there or a key pad for easier access upon arrival. Beds were super comfy and bathrooms were bright and well appointed.

Fantastic Home in a Trendy Area of Calgary

We had a great visit for our annual girls only weekend at this property. The house was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and spacious. The Host, Prince allowed as an early check-in and a later check-out which was GREATLY appreciated. Thank you again. The only feedback would be to change the basement bedroom listing from two twins to one king. Thank you so much for allowing us to use your home and we hope to be back next time.
