The suite was immaculate when we arrived. The decor was interesting enough to make us feel like we were on vacation but was still fully functional and comfortable to use. The bed was very comfortable, firm and supportive, and the pillows had enough loft to comfortably only need one (though there are many available if more elevation needed) The included amenities, the soap and coffee in particular, were lovely. The location is great, just a short walk from the heart of Whyte Ave so there were whatever services or restaurants we needed just steps away (Pip restaurant on 104th just north of Whyte Ave was delicious) The host was extremely attentive. Responding in minutes through the app to any questions or concerns I had. I would stay here again, or one of the other suites offered by this host, in a heartbeat. ##### Patrick R.

The suite has lots of light, is on a beautiful and quiet street. A few blocks walk to several restaurants, shopping etc. Added bonus is it is close to the river valley pathway. Flexible for both families or a single person. I will point out, when the toilet is flushed it is extremely loud. Startling but you will get use to it. Will stay again in the future. ##### Tricia S.
