4BR 2BA Home Jacuzzi Mins from The UofA & Downtown

A friend and I stayed a week here in March 2026 for cycling trip. The place was clean and while a bit spartan - see below - it did has the essentials (including coffee maker with pods and a blender). The hot tub was great; the large back yard is spacious and private. The AC (Nest controlled) was up to the task, quickly dropping the indoor temp to 65 for a good night's sleep when it was 100 outside during the day. The beds were very comfortable and every BR has a TV.The host Tom was extremely responsive, though we really didn't have any issues for him to handle.The location is great, 10 minute drive from downtown, and you can walk to U of A. The specific block it's on is a bit dodgy from a curb-appeal pov (next to a trailer park), but we had no problems with noise, disturbances etc. And it's right across a side street from a Safeway.There were only 2 of us in this 4 BR place (not sure why the listing says 3 BR) and I think it would feel a bit crowded with 4 people as there is only a small sitting area and an island counter "table" for dining. That said, the shaded patio has a proper dining table as well as as couches, so that can serve as the living room for larger parties I suppose.

Only thing missing was a hairdryer! Diamond in the rough. Close to a Starbucks and a Safeway which is essential for an out-of-towner who isn’t renting a vehicle. We enjoyed the cute backyard a lot; especially the hot tub.

Clean and lots of space. Extra towels and easy check in and check out

We agree with many of the positives that other reviewers highlighted: Comfortable beds, central location, close proximity to a grocery store, nice backyard area and very responsive host. However, there were several inconveniences that presented challenges during our stay. For example, common spaces like the kitchen and living room felt cramped. The bathrooms could use more surface space for toiletries and hooks for towels. Besides the beds and TVs, the bedrooms were quite sparse, with very little nightstand space. The kitchen countertop space and dishes are not adequate for the potential number of guests. The indoor table seating is not well suited for very young children or elderly people. We hope that the host understands that our comments are intended to make future stays more comfortable.
