Terrific location on Alberta with lots of cafes, restaurants, and shops to explore. The apartment was as described, except I was put off by the concrete floors throughout the place. In winter, the floors would be cold. It's very clean and comfortable, very IKEA. I was satisfied with the property for the most part, but in this lower-level, basement unit, the bedrooms have no views except for cute gnome displays out the window. That's not a problem, but the one bedroom has the garbage containers outside and a play area. I imagine the play area is for the guests of this rental house, but one day 4 young adults came to play and were obnoxious, like they didn't know we were there. Also, the next door construction with jackhammers from 8 AM were extremely irritating. The house shook at times as it's directly next door. Also, there is a fair bit of hooting and hollering up and down the road at night from passing bar goers, but you'd only know it if you sleep with the windows open like I did.

Don't get me wrong. We were here a week, we liked it, were comfortable, and loved the location. The construction next door should be a passing thing.

An added plus, was Portland, the neighbor's cat who comes to visit each night. He's a portly, lovable, purr bucket who we let in to visit each night. Adorable.
