The Hand-built Alberta Arts Cottage is only 2 blocks from Alberta street and we made the most of it. The neighborhood is quite and the people are friendly. Street level parking is easy to find and I was able to park my car right outside the property where I could see it from the living room. Check-in instructions were clear and James was quick to respond. The interiors are very well designed and constructed. James has equipped the place with an air-conditioner, a heater and a ceiling fan(helps distribute the heat from the heater throughout the house). The floor to ceiling windows allow ample light into the house during the day and the curtains help keep the light out in the night. We highly recommend this place and hope to to be back soon!
