We staid at Lisa's place for a week. The apartment was great! Very clean, well stocked and comfortable for two adults. The Airbnb was about 1 hour from the Banff park entrance and less than 10 minutes from groceries and other amenities. We would stay at this Airbnb again!

Place is pretty basic, but clean, has a high ceiling, quite cozy, the no parking thing really got my goat!

Premièrement, la communication avec l'hôte est un des points les le plus positif, c'est facile, elle répond rapidement et c'est facile de s'organiser avec elle. Le airbnb est super bien situé, les environs mettent en confiance, donc pas besoin de stressé avec la voiture stationné dans la rue. L'intérieur du airbnb est super, confortable, accueillant, on s'y sent vite chez soi, de plus, j'adore le fait qu'on peut arriver quand on veut, ça enlève un stress des épaules surtout si on vient de loin. Un gros merci aux hôtes, j'ai pu passer une super belle fin de semaine :)

We spent a week in Lisa’s apartment and had a great time. It’s just an hour to get to Banff and even closer to Kananaskis national park. Lisa was a great host! Can recommend :)
