Cool Sanctuary, Nostalgic Charm in Old Strathcona

Summary:
Enjoy a gas stove and quartz countertops in a kitchen with leafy views. Indulge in the spa-like bathroom. Pops of colour and brass accent the honey tones of the hardwood floors. Step out to the area’s vibrant, tree-lined streets a short walk from restaurants and ravine walking paths. Air conditioning keeps you cool in the warm summer months!

The Space:
Your safety is our first priority. We have implemented enhanced cleaning and disinfecting routines in our suites and common areas. We have always been known for sparking clean spaces and have now taken it to the next level.

Step out from your private entrance and you'll be greeted by the quiet old growth tree-lined streets of Edmonton's most desirable neighbourhood (rated #1 by Avenue Magazine five years in a row).

Come home to a relaxing oasis after a day exploring Edmonton. Whether you want to relax on one of the plush beds, read a book by the large windows or cook a gourmet meal in the large kitchen, this suite has everything you need to enjoy your visit.

Your full kitchen includes quartz countertops, a white stainless steel gas stove, microwave, fridge and sink along with kitchenware, glasses, mugs, dishes and cutlery. We didn't skimp on quality, and a selection of fine spices, herbs and seasonings from The Silk Road Spice Merchant are available for use during your stay.

Complimentary wifi, TV with Netflix, tea and fresh locally-roasted Transcend Coffee. Fresh linens, towels and robes ensure your comfort.

Family Visit
This property was perfect for our family to stay together for a convocation at U of A. Location was convenient, beds were comfortable, and office was ideal for those who needed to work virtually. Would definitely stay here again should we need accommodation in Edmonton. It would have been nice to have been given the Wi Fi password, when we were sent the key code, rather than having to ask for it, but that was a very minor inconvenience. Management responded to our email quickly with the password. Would also have been nice to have some salt in the salt shaker.

So much space! And fab location.
After 3.5 years of our family not having the chance to catch a flight altogether for a mini-holiday, this was the perfect space to arrive at. The home was spacious, airy and perfectly situated near great restaurants like Dorinku (we highly recommend this!) and the farmer’s market. We loved having the nearby trail to walk each morning and each of us having a room to ourselves was a real bonus. Price point for all this is what made the stay that much sweeter.

Great Property
The property was exactly as advertised. It had three well appointed bedrooms, an updated bathroom and kitchen and a cozy living room. It was in a very nice older neighborhood with lots of lovely trees. Located in a great area close to all amenities, we would definitely stay here again.

Very comfortable, had everything we needed
Incredibly comfortable and well appointed. Wonderful modern shower with rainfall shower head and hand held. Very comfortable bed linens. Modern kitchen with everything we could need. Only reason it didn't get the full 5 stars was that street parking was difficult. Depending on the time of day you might not be super close. Very attentive host, with good food recommendations. Easy to walk to the east end of the "cool" part of Whyte Ave.

Lovely home away from home
We had a lovely stay in one of Edmonton's absolute best neighbourhoods. The house was just as charming as it seems in the photos. It was very clean and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The manager/owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with. We'd definitely choose this place to stay again! Thank you for a lovely stay!
