Atty was a wonderful and communicative host! The home was lovely, bright, clean, and well-equipped for a solo trip.
It is literally one alleyway’s walk away from one end of the Alberta Arts District and I felt very very safe.
Checkin and checkout were a breeze and Atty answered my pre-trip questions promptly. The house manual binder on the dining room table answered the rest of my questions.
When the washing machine was a little cludgey, Atty responded immediately and offered to come over to help. She masked up and was super respectful and helpful.
The one note that I’ll make for anyone considering coming in the colder months who tend to run a bit on the cold side: the air in the house can be a bit nippy. I came in late January. There are heating sources in the house that will be adequately fine for people who run at normal-to-warm temps. The bathroom has radiant heating in the floors, which is nice, but the toilet seat was pretty cold normally for me. (The adjacent bedroom has its own thermostat and can be set independently, so that room itself is pretty nice.) The living/kitchen can be heated by an electric fireplace during occupied and waking hours, but the warmth doesn’t reach to all parts of the room. I wore socks and extra layers in the house, but it definitely didn’t solve the problem with the toilet seat or with your exposed hands if you’re chopping up stuff for dinner.
But all in all, a very pleasant stay!
