I was made to feel very welcome and enjoyed a comfortable apartment with all the facilities i would have wished. There's even a sauna! Marion's two Minature Schnauzers are real characters. Her home is in a superb, quiet location for the university and the wide variety of shopping and cafes available on nearby Whyte Ave. I don't often give 5-star ratings across the board - this Airbnb fully deserved that accolade." - Alun W.
