About this property

Contemporary Oasis in the Heart of Old Strathcona

Summary:
Cook on quartz countertops in a kitchen with leafy views. Soak in a unique custom trough tub. Gold, brass, and muted orange and yellow accents sync with a living room’s striking statement wallpaper. Step out to the area’s vibrant, tree-lined streets.

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 stainless steel 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.

Stylish basement apartment in cool neighborhood
The space was comfortable and private with tons of shops and food within walking distance. Neighborhood was quiet and provided a nice sanctuary after a day of exploring. Would definitely book again.

Cutest house, great communication!
The house was stunning and clean, we had everything we needed and were a short distance from great restaurants, etc. The interior design of the house impressed my guests, it was spacious and the host was very quick to communicate and respond to any questions we had.

Wonderful place for a stay in central Edmonton
This was a fantastic stay. The suite was immaculate when we arrived. The decor was interesting enough to make us feel like we were on vacation but was still fully functional and comfortable to use. The bed was very comfortable, firm and supportive, and the pillows had enough loft to comfortably only need one (though there are many available if more elevation needed) The included amenities, the soap and coffee in particular, were lovely. The location is great, just a short walk from the heart of Whyte Ave so there were whatever services or restaurants we needed just steps away (Pip restaurant on 104th just north of Whyte Ave was delicious) The host was extremely attentive. Responding in minutes through the app to any questions or concerns I had. I would stay here again, or one of the other suites offered by this host, in a heartbeat.
