Kurt and Ginger were fantastic hosts, great communication and super friendly. Because nobody was staying the night before us, they allowed us to check in early, which was incredibly helpful since we have an infant. The house itself was perfect for our needs, and exactly as described. We really loved the style, i.e. the mix of industrial with traditional touches like crystal doorknobs. The house had everything we needed, lots of extra blankets, pillows, and even a pack & play for the baby. Having an off street parking space was great too. The area is popular and sometimes street parking is hard to come by...In terms of the neighborhood itself,yes it's "transitional", but it's pretty much transitioned. Alberta is full of trendy restaurants, shops, and coffee shops. We always feel safe there, and find little reason to leave the neighborhood. In summary, we had a great stay at a great house in a great neighborhood. We'd definitely stay at Kurt and Ginger's place again.
