Front upstairs bedroom doesn’t have drapes so if you’re light sensitive, something to keep in mind. Host is very communicative, we were there during Thanksgiving and they texted plenty. Neighborhood itself is awesome. Super walkable to everything you need or a short drive to the Alberta arts district. Home is full of charm and everything that comes with old craftsman homes. Check in was easy. When we arrived dishes were in the dishwasher (maybe clean? It’s Covid times though so we rewashed them), two lights out and very few paper towels or toilet paper. The host kindly reimbursed us for the paper towels we bought.
Sadly the drier was busted too — not a big issue if you don’t travel with kids, but laundry is a big plus for our family of four on long holidays.
Our first night the smoke detector started beeping at 3 am — do they ever die at 3PM?! I was able to drag a chair over and disconnect it. We discovered the next day another smoke alarm didn’t have a battery in it either. Maybe they aren’t on the every 8 month switch we have in our house ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Overall, we’d definitely stay here again, we just caught a couple unfortunate bumps on our stay.
