Convenient Location in Nice Neighborhood
The property was in a great location for walking to all of our U of A activities. It was clean but could use a bit of updating, especially a dishwasher, and some cosmetic work to make it more inviting. Overall, it served our purposes well for the price point.
This property was a great location, the house was nice and cozy, and owners were very responsive. Highly recommend!

Big enough for 8 adults
An over night stay for 8 adults and enough room for all. Everything worked fine in the home. The bunk bed situation was perfect for the 4 young adults. Didn’t use the kitchen but it looked equipped and ready. You are really close to the hospital and hear the helicopter. You’re not too far away from downtown area and fast food options. There is not a lot of parking space for multiple vehicles. Over all it worked for what we needed for one night.
