The parking was excellent. Very pet friendly. Walks were always shoveled. The property was decorated for Christmas. The kitchen was very well equipped. Any questions we had were promptly answered by the owner. The property was very quiet and the neighborhood was very walkable. It felt like home!!!

Lovely stay in Old Strathcona Edmonton
We loved our stay, the house is very clean and comfortable. It was so nice brining our dog with us and having a garage to park in was a bonus!

Great Weekend
I rented this property for my girlfriend’s low key bachelorette party and it was a hit! The host was very helpful and always responded in a timely manner. Great location for Whyte Ave as we went to the bars.

Great place to stay
This property was a great house located in a very walkable Neighborhood. The house worked great for our family of 4 and our dog - he loved looking out the window watching people walking and cycling by. Access to the river valley and walks in the neighborhood were perfect for us.

Nice Place
The property is very nice and new refurbished. Towels, plates etc were available.
The master bedroom has a window without a means to shut out the light but otherwise very nice place to stay.
There's a requirement by the owner to be quiet due to the neighbor a bit tricky for a noisy African family but I believe it worked...
Truly a nice place and location for the activities we planned.

Open floor plan - perfect for our group
Terrific property for our family get-together. Plenty of space to visit and to make our meals. Comfy beds and plenty of bedding. Kitchen was well stocked (could use a few more dishcloths, but sure was a minor thing). Quick 10 min walk to our show and restaurant.

Truly an Urban Oasis
Our recent stay at the Urban Oasis was truly fantastic. The location was ideal, with convenient access to Whyte Avenue, Mill Creek, and the River Valley for scenic parks and walking trails - perfect for taking our furry friend for a stroll.
The suite itself was equipped with every amenity one could ask for. The furnishings were stylish and new, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
Overall, we highly recommend this listing to anyone visiting Edmonton for work or pleasure. Thank you for providing such a wonderful and memorable experience.
