Our Edmonton stay

We spent a few days here as part of our cross country road trip to attend a sports tournament with our grandson and daughter. This place was perfect. It was the right size and located in a quiet neighborhood 30 min from the airport, downtown, and the sports venue we attended. We would definitely recommend it and stay here again.

Nice older house

Nice quiet area, all is well kept. Would be 5 star but was very hot and did not sleep a couple nights. 5 of us could not sleep down stairs for the cooler air.

Lovely home. Great hosts. Wa sa bit disappointed that there was no hot tub, but instead a jacuzzi tub. Would stay here again, but would have preferred to know up front about the hot tub vs jacuzzi tub.

Thanksgiving

Stayed for two nights on the Thanksgiving weekend. Great area and was close to what we needed. The house is large and clean! We had some trouble getting the thermostat set, but Niko came right over and reset the thermostat for us! Very happy with the house and the assistance!
