    The Space:

    This is an Executive private suite (basement) in a townhouse built in 2014. The building is located on a beautiful street full of trees and green views. Since the house was built few years ago, you will have all the amenities expected in a new building. The house's theme is nature, so you will find plants around the house; your suite will have the name of an animal, and you will find some fancy wallpapers around. We are very friendly, and we promote friendliness and respect among all our guests.



    You will use the main door of the house to come in (we use same entrance to access the house, so you may see someone around in the house). If you drive, you can park on the street (please, send us your plate number and province in advance if you require parking).



    In the Raccoon private unit, you will have a bedroom with a Full bed size, with a very comfortable mattress, a private desk in case you need to work, and a huge wardrobe to place your belongings. In the unit you will have a private washroom with shower, and an spacious living room with a sofa bed that can convert into a king size bed (please, double check the number of guests in your booking). You will also have a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, kettle, and a free coffee station.



    In addition to all of this, you will also have options to access to our shared fully equipped kitchen in the main floor (shared space), in case you need to cook something. You will also have access to our shared living room. All the shared spaces are always kept clean, so everybody in the house is encourage to clean after themselves. You will have a great and different experience here!

    In addition to the ‘Raccoon’ guest suite in basement, you will be able/optional to access all the other open shared spaces on the main floor (restricted areas will be signaled with a board).



    Indoor shared spaces:



    - Living room. Spacious light room, ideal to read and hangout on the couch. It has a table to enjoy a coffee or tea while reading or relaxing.

    - Washrooms: fully equipped half washroom on the main floor.



    The Neighborhood:

    Sunalta is a very accessible and peaceful neighborhood in Calgary. Despite being close to the vibrant 17th Avenue, it is a quiet community near downtown. It is a picturesque old neighborhood, with many old houses with architecture that comes from the nineteenth century. There are many parks around and green areas, so you will love talking a walk around the neighborhood!



    Getting Around:

    First things first... Are you hungry? You will be able to find different types of food on the 14th Street, just one block away.



    Now, if you want to move to everywhere in Calgary using public transportation, you can jump into the C-train, just three blocks away from the house! To get to the C-train, just walk to your right after coming out of the house, and then turn right in the first intersection. Keep walking three blocks and you will see the big Sunalta C-train station!

You won't have to pay anything for parking but please inform us your plate number so we can register you in and this is a totally safe neighborhood!



    Other Things to Note:

    Respect and friendliness to all other guests in shared spaces (outside of your unit) is expected and encouraged.

Great value for what we paid. Everything was clean and comfortable. Only thing that might be nice is a little more separation in the downstairs unit- something to keep a bit of the noise from the common areas out?

Very clean and well located if you're visiting Calgary! We stayed here for the stampede so didn't spend too much time in the unit but a TV would have been nice to have for some down time! The pull out sofa was actually very comfortable and spacious same with the bed in the bedroom. The only thing we didn't love was the lack of privacy leading towards the basement unit. There is no door which I found off putting.
