Luxury 2BR Condo - King Bed - Stunning City Views

The condo offered a fantastic view and was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully laid out. However, the check-in process was frustrating: the key pickup spot wasn’t clearly identified as a convenience store, parking wasn’t included (and came with an extra fee), the garage was hard to find, and the owner’s contact number couldn’t provide basic details—such as where the parking garage was located. If the check-in process went smoother, this would have been an absolute 10/10 experience if not for the poor check-in.

Excellent Stay. HVAC was not working so was very warm the entire time. Otherwise great property and location.

Checking into this property was a rough start. The check-in instructions were missing the code to get into the actual building and missing the code to get into the unit/apartment. We paid for 3 days of parking in the building but could only access the parking spot for 2 days. Many things within the apartment were broken or in terrible condition (mirror in the hallway, missing vanity from bedroom, shelves in the living room close to the windows were falling off the wall, screen was ripped for the screen door, frying pan was unusable it was in nasty condition, towel racks in the bathroom were also falling off the wall), would not recommend sleeping on the pull out couch it was extremely hard, the "extra bedding" was 2 blankets and a bare pillow, no extra pillow cases. There were only 2 rolls of toilet paper in the unit for 5 people for 3 days. Also the table was severely scratched, floors were scratched up and most of the paint/coverings on the cabinets was peeling off. We couldnt use the dishwasher as there was no dishwasher soap/detergent/tabs.The price was advertised in CAD dollars but I was charged in USD. The only highlight of this property was the location.

It was our first experience with Vrbo. Appartmen downtown of Calgary had 10 points raiting and we had zero hesitation to book it. Then it started. Vrbo charged us fee to book. Then property manager was sending links to charge for first night....then again for second night, then parking fee and damage deposit. All understandable, could have been taken as one charge.The property wasn't clean. All window blinds were dusty and broken . Dark bedding wasn't looking fresh. We wasn't being able to enjoy with balcony , as I mentioned before, blinds on balcony door were broken. Main bathroom had completely broken towel rod lots of dust and rustI don't know , how this place is rated 10 out of 10??!! And now we are being charged extra money for nothing. Our credit card has editional 175 charge for what? The worst experience ever...

1.5 hours to check in due to key not being where it was supposed to be and no spare key available for entry.

The checking was not very smooth. The instructions provided was not accurate and did not contain all the details we need. 1) The email stated the fob to enter the garage was in the unit. It was not but attached to the set of keys to the unit. 2) No instructions on the parking stall. I had to call to ask where we can park and wait to be given the stall number. They are charging just like a hotel, parking is not included but cost $20 per night. 3)There is no view to look at from the unit. There is a giant concert wall on one side and the other building units on the other side. 4) They have the most uncomfortable couch and small for a family of 4 to relax on for the evening. 5)We had to do our best to child proof the space: glass coffee table, glass dinner table. 6) They need to change their check out time to 11 am instead of 10 am. For a family of four with two young children, it was not enough time to wake up, cook a meal and tidy up. Overall, great place for a couple or single individual that only needs a place in downtown Calgary for sleeping. Unit is very clean, enough clean towels for two nights and with everything we needed to cook.

Excellent place to stay. Beautiful views! Very convenient location, easy to get in and out, had everything you would need there, dishes, laundry, sheets and extra blankets, even some snacks! If you have people sleeping on the pullout couch I would recommend a sleep mask, not all the windows have blinds. Was slow on communication with getting in and out & prepaid parking directions.

Great place, easy to get to, only tricky part for us was how to access the garage but we figured it out. Thanks.

The interior was great; super clean, modern,. and just as advertised. The location was great too; close to shops, restaurants and train. We found the check-in process frustrating, and learned too late that the essential information was in our Upstay "boarding pass". Then when we finally got outside the unit, we struggled with the keyless pad because 1) we had a fob that had a different number on it and 2) it was too dark to see any of the numbers/symbols on the keypad. Other than that, we couldn't hang out at the unit for most of Friday because the water was shut off due to a scheduled repair, but other than that we had a lovely time.

3 areas of comment - Location, Unit, Company (booking)Location is central but as we arrived on XMAS day it was unsettling. Lots of homeless and sketchy people as area was closed for 2 days. Did not feel overly safe to walk with my 10 year old and would not let my wife and kid go alone. Aggressive homeless. Also having some kind of guide to where you can get food when you arrive on a holiday would be happy. When the area opened up much better as party goers do not cause me concern. Building is definitely a destination for those who want to club but was overall quiet considering time of year.Unit was tired with a few issues needing addressing. They wanted to but we were unable to accomodate a visit. Beds super super soft, couch hard as a rock. But otherwise as advertised and great view. THings that needed addressing were some towel rocks needing adjusting, shower head leading, attached wall table removed from wall but area not refinished. Nothing that really affected the stay. Otherwise my wife and daughter loved the placeGreat service in terms of communication. Bad service because they convert everything to USD on payment as they are an American property management company. You don't really find this out until you are committed.I would probably book local (Canadian) next timeIt is a good unit and the value (pricing) was fair in the market except 20 parking. Will have to check to see if my deposit was refunded yet as it is a third party billing.

We stayed for a week to attend the Calgary Stampede and travel to Banff. The check in was a little challenging with prearranged parking in the building and the door code not working. Communication was good with the management and issues were resolved. The facilities were clean, however there are some items that need fixing. Management was aware and they were mostly cosmetic type items. Kitchen was amply furnished. The location was fantastic within walking distance to Stampede grounds, restaurants, and Casinos.

Super clean, great views, comfortable, and wonderful location. No sheets or proper bedding for the couch, unfortunately, but we made it work

Overall, this is a nice VRBO. The best thing was the cleanliness of the apartment and the location is fantastic. Close to being a GREAT VRBO! The worst thing was how uncomfortable the furniture and beds are. We rented a movie online but the couch was so uncomfortable that none of us could sit through a movie. The beds were much too firm for our liking. If you are hoping for a place to relax, this isn’t that place. The check-in was not smooth and we waited in our vehicle for almost an hour to get a text response and instructions for check-in. It would be easy to improve this process and maybe our experience isn’t typical, but for us it was cold outside, dark, and not a smooth process. It would be nice to have a small book of information in the apartment to tell us simple things like where to take the trash to, what attractions are close, where the nearest grocery is, etc. With a little more attention to detail and quality, comfortable seating and sleeping, this VRBO would easily get 5 stars. Access to downtown Calgary is perfect and within easy walking of almost everything we did on our trip. Love the location! Plenty of room for 4 people.

Very clean

Host was great, quick to respond and everything was just like the pictures. Easy to access the building even though in an apartment building. The beds were not comfortable and the couch and pillows had some stains. It had a beautiful view and great little kitchen area.

Great area clean building.

This was a great location. Clean and comfy. Great communication. The guy I got the keys from was a little short but everything else was perfect.

This property had great city views and is a short walk to many downtown activities. The condo was fairly clean. Although, our recycling bucket had not been emptied prior to our arrival and no extra kitchen garbage bags were provided. Besides these minor issues, everything else was great. I would recommend paying for a parking spot as it gives you a secure, heated spot while you’re there.

Super clean, great views, comfortable, and wonderful location. No sheets or proper bedding for the couch, unfortunately, but we made it work

This penthouse is amazing.Not only is specular inside, the view to Calgary skyline is over the top.Jim was a great host. Easy to deal with, friendly and very attentive Would for sure come back to this place

This is the perfect spot to get to the events, all within walking distance. Great eating places nearby. Large walk-in showers, comfortable beds, Starbucks across the street and small food court across the street..it is hard not to enjoy your stay. I only wish that there was a Keurig to start off the day without leaving this comfortable retreat.

The communication was great. The place was nice and clean. The view and location was great!It is not a luxury property. The couch is extremely uncomfortable; we couldn’t sit through a whole movie. The beds were stiff but ok. The sliding doors to the large bedroom didn’t close, so the city lights blared in all night. If this place is going to keep the title of luxury, it’s needs to up its game in the furniture department.

We had a very short one night stay at this great condo. The location is fantastic and close to everything, including a top rated cocktail bar on the main level. Beautifully decorated in every room and super comfy beds. I would definitely stay here again!

Just right for our overnight stay. Comfortable, clean. Great views of the city. However, didn't get quite as cool as the thermostat indicated. But both bedrooms had fans provided.

This location was excellent for a night out downtown. It's located close to a number of excellent bars and restaurants in the heart of the Beltline. It was awesome to have only a 2 minute walk back to our rooms when we were done for the night, and the beds were super comfy. We really appreciated our hosts for always being friendly and available to answer our questions.

Complicated system for pre check in /boarding pass and key pick up system. Location was great for walking.

1.5 hours to check in due to key not being where it was supposed to be and no spare key available for entry.

Very nice but it was difficult to open the entrance.

We love downtown Calgary and the location was great! Will definitely book again!
