My partner and I stayed in Ali and David's upstairs lodging on New Year's Eve. We loved exploring the Alberta Arts area with its many Craftsman-type houses, and the fact that good restaurants and entertainment could be found within walking distance was an added bonus.. Ali and David's home was very clean (both the rental and their personal space that you pass thru on your way upstairs), the bed comfy, and the neighborhood quiet, even on such an eventful night. :) There was a small 'fridge and microwave available if we wanted to fix a simple meal, but we chose instead to dine at the nearby eateries that Ali and David suggested. Ali Kastner's Airbnb listing is one I would definitely recommend.
