We enjoyed our stay. It was very quiet, relaxing and private. We felt comfortable from the moment we walked in and it felt like a home away from home for our whole stay. The hosts were easy to contact and quick to answer any questions I had. We would definitely book this place again!
We are from New England and came here for 4 nights between my 9 year old daughter’s hockey tournaments in Edmonton. It was a perfect location, close to downtown but quiet, and only an hour from Banff. The house is impeccably clean and the kids loved the game area. The owners made it so easy to find everything and left clear instructions. Would absolutely stay here again.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The property was not clearly listed as a front and rear duplex in the ad which only, when we recieved check information, learned that we could not park in the driveway and had to park on the street which was away from the house. This makes it not a true VRBO in my opinion. Additionally the pictures included appeared to make it look larger than what it was (ad included multiple pictures of the same rooms). The cleanliness of the space when we arrived was questionable, the carpets appeared to not be vacuumed and I found some wrappers and papers from previous guests. Positives were that the hot tub was clean and enjoyable and that there was a seperate space for kids to enjoy.
Our host Mark was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. The place was great for our kids and had everything a family could need.Thanks for having us look forward to booking again in the future.
Perfect place for a family to stay. Great place and fully stocked kitchen. Close to everything we needed or wanted. Thanks for the great stay. Great hosts.
The place was as described and the kids had a fantastic time with the hot tub and pool table. There was plenty to do and enough space for our family of 6. The hot tub could use a cleaning though, and the listing didn't mention there being another unit above that is occupied - there were a few mornings the residents upstairs were moving furniture and vacuuming at 5am!
First of all, the location is in a safe and good neighbourhood. The house was as described. Make sure you double check the settings when you arrive because the fridge was at 5 (the coldest) and the gas for the bbq was already on as some examples. And don’t ask any questions while you’re there because you might get very unprofessional answers. I just asked simple questions like how things worked because there were different from home and the owner called me useless and hopeless. He was very rude and unprofessional making you feel very stupid and not wanting to come back and stay there again. I know that I will never stay there again!!!
The listing for this property did not mention that the unit is located in a BASEMENT. While the space itself was clean and accessible, our stay was significantly impacted by issues that were not disclosed.On the first night, the renters in the upper unit arrived around 10:00 p.m. Their children were running and hitting objects on the floor, and they were also doing laundry and running the dishwasher. All of the noise transferred directly into the basement unit, and we were unable to sleep that night.In addition, the garage door was damaged, and the upstairs renters continued to attempt to fix it by opening and closing it constantly. The sound of the garage door opening and closing was extremely loud and carried through the walls.Another major issue is that the thermostat is not located in the basement unit. The temperature is controlled from the upper unit, and it was extremely hot at night, with no way for us to adjust it.These conditions made the stay uncomfortable, and none of these issues were disclosed in the listing.
