6/10
This is a basic rental with basic amenities and is great if you're just looking for a budget-friendly place to crash for a few nights. We were impressed by the cleanliness and the outdoor space that was created right off the back door. Just a short drive away, you can hike on the trails of Nose Hill Park and catch the beautiful sunrise! Providing bottled water at check-in was a nice touch.
I would not recommend this place if there are any mobility issues or young children. The walkway to the back gate is raised without any safety barrier to the driveway, which is about a 3 foot drop. The stairs heading to the basement are also a bit steep and shallow. We had a couple of near misses with the bottom step.
There seemed to be open communication with the hosts leading up to arrival, and there was even an invitation to contact them if we wanted further help or suggestions; however, when we couldn't find an iron or ironing board, which was an advertised amenity, we inquired and received no response. We ended up purchasing an iron and otherwise would have brought one from home as we knew we had multiple items to iron before an event.
The listing is clearly for an entire place stating, "You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party" but note the finer print describes this as a basement suite. We were willing to let this slide, but I think it's worth mentioning in case you make the same error in missing the details.
