Lovely property, lots of space and walking distance to all amenities. My only negative would be that it is right next to the train tracks which can be quite loud, but with the doors and windows shut it wasn’t too bad!

The unit was very well equipped, and tastefully decorated. The owner might decide to add a bath mat, and perhaps a bath rail to make it easier for elderly guests.

The accommodation had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Lovely views around the property. Parking free and fairly straight-forward to do, just need to do it for every day you are staying. Trainline runs directly behind the property which can be a bit noisy.

We enjoyed everything about the place other than the proximity to the rail line…. there were multiple trains through out the night and air conditioning would have been a nice bonus as it did get a bit warm in there. The place was clean and tidy nicely decorated and close to the town are.

Excellent Location

Cozy, clean apartment was a fantastic base for exploring Canmore and Banff. We walked to everywhere in Canmore. The apartment was fully stocked with everything we'd need in the kitchen and even games. Check in and out process was easy and host was extremely responsive. The walls were very thin and we heard the upstairs tenants every night, and one night we came back late and there was no parking available, but overall it was a great experience and we would stay again.

It was a very nice and clean and centrally located place, close to Calgary, Banff and Lake Louise. Our only complaint would be the noise of the train. We knew there was a train, but not how loud it would be and how often it came by.One suggestion would be to get new outdoor chairs. The chairs there were not very comfortable.Thanks!

Would expect a bit more for the money!

Inside unit was excellent/clean and owner was very easy to speak with....a cloths dryer would be useful with the rain we had (only washing machine there). Outside entrance was dirty and not inviting. Lock on sliding door broken but security bar worked. Trains on tracks right behind unit travel almost every hour if your a light sleeper and views of mountains obstructed by fence and a new building going up. It served our purpose as we were there for a wedding and didn't spend much time actually in unit.
