Family were able to stay in a positive home environment while family member receiving treatment in adjacent hospital. Great environment for adults but sleeping mats required for children. Suggest the be available prior to check-in. Overall a great stay.

The artwork in this home is stunning and by a renowned Canadian artist. The owner was very helpful in figuring out how to accommodate our 2 teardrop trailers. The living room and family room are very nice as are the other rooms. A huge park is right across the street. So nice for walking. The house is not air conditioned but stayed cool enough by keeping curtains shut during the day and opening windows in the evening when it cools down. I’d definitely come back.

House is fully equipped and located in a great area. Lots of space for 6 of us. The owners live in the basement and we never heard or saw them once but they were available if we needed them. Would stay again.

Excellent stay! Great south Calgary location. Lots of art to view, kitchen set up with everything you need and fantastic sitting areas for cards and visiting. The driveway is steep, we struggled with our low van with a hitch, but there is lots of street parking. Would definitely stay again!

Dealing with Marty was very great! Everything went smooth. I hate to even say the negative but I guess that is what a review is about. We didn't realize that we were renting a home that people lived in. There were messy junk drawers and drawers with spilled cereal. Used food and cupboards fully loaded with not super clean pots and pans. We walked into peoples lives. They must just move downstairs when people rent. I would say the kitchen especially needs to be thoroughly cleaned out and only the simple basics in the cupboards. Also the place really only sleeps 6. The advertisement for 8 must mean 2 would sleep on couches. The outside property also needs a bit of love. We did enjoy ourselves as our family and friends were together which was wonderful.
