A convenient, comfy, clean room, in a modern condo, with lots of amenities and shopping near by. Hosts home is right in the heart of the Cully neighborhood, so 10-15 minutes from the airport and ample shopping and food options nearby.
I loved the cleanliness, the convenience, and the functionality of this space. Youll have a private bathroom with a huge tub all to yourself. There is a hair dryer and shampoo. The room has its own thermostat. You also have additional options of laundry access, and a spot in the fridge. There is ample parking outside. There is an extra blanket in the closet in case you get cold. You will have tons of quiet and privacy and will be left alone to do your thing.
If I had any compliants they are minimal—mainly the location. I did not take away any stars for this because its near the airport and I also have a car…but just a heads up for people who dont have cars…its not centrally located so youll have a longer commute to areas like SE and downtown.
The other thing is, I felt kind of abandoned at check in. To be fair, It WAS 7pm. However, all the lights were turned off so I couldnt really find my room in the dark, and it made me more uncomfortable my host that I had not yet met seemed upset with me in the morning thinking that I broke the no shoe rule, (because I brought my shoes upstairs with me after i took them off at the landing (there is an adamant no shoe rule)). Other than breif interactions through chat, I really did not see or meet my hosts at all during the visit. I will admit it felt kind of weird to hang out in someone else’s house while they were in the space with me without at least meeting them face to face.
Maybe that is ideal for some guests, and its expected to not see the host when you are renting the entire place…but because this is someone’s house where they will co-share the space with you—I think I personally would have felt more welcomed and comfortable in this space had my hosts been available at check in. But anyway, those are honestly just minor minor things, and also I admittedly got in later than I had communicated. My hosts were pretty accommodating in every single way otherwise.
NE Alberta is probably the closest sight seeing attraction I can think of and hosts home is not a far drive from the Gorge.
Overall, straight forward and cozy stay, and a great price for what you are getting. 5 stars.
