Liked: Cleanliness
conveniently located 2 blocks away from Downtown Banff. Great deal for 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. great communication with the owners, they responded even if it was late at 12am. Space was clean. shower spaces are a bit small. Had a bit of an issue with the temperature. the place was cozy and too warm for our tastes, we had to open the windows. overally great value if you are travelling with a big family

Awesome location, can walk to downtown in 2min.
Showers and toilets are a little tight for larger people but clean and nice to have 3 bathrooms.
Fridges big enough to fit pizza boxes, cutlery, cups, everything else you need.
Could use a coffee pot was my only complaint lol
