The apartment was ideally located for us. It is adjacent to the Bow River trails and Chinatown, within a 10 minute walk to the 240-4th Ave entry to the +15 walkways that interconnect most of the major downtown buildings, and within a 15 minute walk of the Convention Center, the 7th St light rail, and the 8th St mall. A large supermarket, the Real Canadian Superstore, is a 10 minute walk east. The apartment is as described, basic but very clean, comfortable and everything works. The kitchen-living area lacks a table for dining/working. The bedroom has a bed with memory foam mattress, comfortable bedding and side tables. The bathroom is compact but has heated floor. Entry arrangements are typical for a downtown apartment, with an electronic fob needed to enter the building and elevator and a key to enter the apartment. The manager promptly accommodated a request for an extra key. The apartment building is showing its age in the entry and elevator areas. On the other hand, for less than half the price of the more recently built luxury apartments along the Bow River downtown, this clean and comfortable apartment provides a similar location.

In a holiday apartment rental building: no personnel on site but good communication with the unit owner. Check in a bit complicated but you just carefully follow the owner’s instructions. In Calgary Chinatown at 1st St SE and Riverside Avenue. Ten minute walk to many places downtown and #300 airport bus stops nearby. Suggest Silver Dragon restaurant nearby for Dim Sum or à la carte; quick breakfast at Delta hotel BRWD coffee shop.

Water pressure in the shower was low but otherwise it was a great stay, convenient to downtown

We were very pleased with the apartment and most of the amenities. However I would recommend that they include hand towels and face cloths to the available linens.
