Excellent location, great house
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Incredible location to U of A, University Ave, Stadium. Host communication was excellent from booking to questions during the stay to check-out. House was well-appointed with amenities and everything you need for a comfortable stay. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Terrific experience at a house with great character
We really enjoyed our stay at this house! It's in a neighborhood close to two main streets (so it's easy to get everywhere), but still in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We could easily walk to the university, and we could walk to the shops on 4th. Just a lovely location. The house is old, so it's got terrific charm - the perfect antidote to other, more sterile/corporate short-term rental places. We had everything we needed, and the hosts were incredibly responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again, and we would recommend it to others.

Good house, great location
We stayed here over Homecoming weekend for UofA. It was close enough to be convenient for all the things happening on campus, but still in a nice quiet neighborhood. The house is nice and charming, although it could use a little TLC in some areas. The single bathroom was fine for the two of us, but would have been cramped if we had been using the entire house.
