Quick Getaway!

Great place to stay for a quick getaway! The garden is beautiful, and when the breeze blew, the trees swayed and the sound of nature was relaxing. It was a safe neighborhood with so many places to walk to close by.

The beauty of this place was healing

The red gem was one of the best places we have stayed at. It was artistic, functional and friendly. And wow what an assortment of walkable restaurants and night life! And if you just want to stay and cook, it has all you need. We would certainly stay again.

Super Cute!

I loved my stay in the Tiny Red House, it is super cute and at the back of an amazing garden. The Alberta neighborhood is safe and very walkable with great outdoor spaces for dogs if you happen to have one or two. Great restaurants and coffee shops are also nearby, plus easy to get to downtown as well. I would stay here again!
