We enjoyed our stay. The house had all the amenities and a few perks that we appreciated!
The property was super clean and well kept. Sean was informative and quick to answer any question or request.
The area was quiet and in the middle of downtown which we loved. Overall we were very happy with the property and would recommend it with confidence.

NINE DAYS AT EMPIRE IN MARDA LOOP
Our group of four ladies could not have been happier with our stay at this Marda Loop property. Plenty of room with a nice bedroom for each of us. The kitchen area was great and we really enjoyed the fireplace because the weather was unusually cool for June. Our Host Sean was very attentive, addressing every need promptly and professionally. The neighborhood was very pleasant and no safety concerns. The Westbrook light rail station was a short trip away and we were able to take full advantage of Calgary's LRT system. Also a nice Safeway's at Westbrook. Highly recommend staying at the Empire VRBO.

Beautiful home, quiet location
This home was immaculate with top of the line appliances and a lot of extras that you normally don't find in a VRBO. Sean was an excellent host and was quick to respond to any of my questions. The area is very quiet and there is a park close by. My only concern was that the memory foam beds were quite firm, but that could be a matter of personal taste. I would definitely recommend this property.
