The place was perfect for our group. Any questions that we asked were immediately answered. I would highly recommend this place
Our stay was wonderful, we love the way the home was decorated and the furnishings. It was very clean and we were comfortable, felt at home. We like the location, close to the airport, and the downtown area. Elke was a great host.

Elke was a wonderful hostess! Responsive, friendly, helpful. And her home was perfect for our group of 12. Comfy couches, great kitchen, comfy beds. We definitely recommend as she made us feel right at home ๐ฅฐ
Very nice and clean place. Accessible and convenient for us.
Elke and her place were truly a hidden gem! My siblings and I had an amazing stay. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and accommodating throughout our visit. I loved the place so much that its layout has become my inspiration for my future home! Everything was clean, organized, and thoughtfully provided with everything we needed. The location was also perfect close to No Frills, restaurants, shopping plazas, and malls, making it very convenient. The home was absolutely spotless and very well maintained. I highly recommend staying here! To future guests, please help take care of this beautiful place because it's definitely somewhere you'll want to come back to again.
We felt at home from the start. The furnishings were well maintained and well coordinated. The landlords were always available and responded very quickly. Would we move back here? Of course, right away.
Spacious well equipped home, enough parking in the area and out back, quiet neighborhood. I would come visit again.
Great stay overall. The place was clean, comfortable, and matched the listing well. Check-in was easy and communication with the host was smooth throughout the stay. The location was convenient and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others
This was hands down the best Airbnb I've stayed at, and it's set a high bar for every one after it. The space was spotless, thoughtfully laid out, and had a cozy, quiet atmosphere that made it easy to truly relax. The location is close to everything I needed, with convenient access to nearby stores. Having dedicated off-street parking was a genuinely appreciated bonus that made the whole stay more stress-free. The host was proactive and kind throughout, checking in at just the right moments without being intrusive. If you're considering this place, don't hesitate, it delivered on every front.
Had an amazing stay! Elke made sure we felt right at home. The place was quiet, clean and comfortable! Would highly recommend.

Elke and Elvis were great host. Definitely recommend staying here!
It was a beautiful home, very clean and homey feeling. The host was super kind and checked in, would definitely stay again! โบ๏ธ
Elke and Elvis were absolutely amazing hosts! Messages and questions were promptly responded to and what stood out the most was how willing they were to pop over to the property anytime of day - to sort any issues out. The property itself was spotless, tidy and full of everything one would need for a very comfortable stay. Absolutely lovely, warm and cosy home which we hope to book next time we are in Calgary! Thank you Elvis and Elke for all your help and for a wonderful stay!
Our stay was great. Cozy suite, clean, bed was super comfortable, kitchen had all necessary amenities. Living area also very comfortable. Elke was friendly, very responsive and helpful. 10/10 would definitely stay here again.
Elke's house was perfect, impeccable, we loved our stay, it was great ๐๐ป I highly recommend it, I give it a ๐ฏ we had a wonderful time...
We stayed at Elke and Elvis's place. The place is very well set up, with everything you need for a short or long stay. Everything in the apartment has been chosen carefully and thoughtfully. The place is very comfortable- comfy bed and sofa, streaming services, full kitchen and lovely bathroom. Even though this is a basement apartment there is plenty of natural light. Lovely and warm, even with the snow! Private parking out the front of the property with additional parking outside the main building if needed. Elke is very quick at responding to messages and always willing to help. Shops are only a short drive from the property. Lovely walk around the small lakes from the property. Thank you for a lovely stay and for all your help!
This house was a saviour. It was clean and odor free. Instructions to find and get in were simple. Everything felt new and tidy. Host was very welcoming. Location is very far north in the city. Close to Cross Iron and easily accessible to Stoney Trail. Has restaurants and amenities close. Clean up was very simple and easy to follow. Also has a parking pad and street parking but we had 3 vehicles and if you get back late, be prepared to get creative with your parking. Not an issue if you only have one car.
Great home! Spacious, clean. Had everything we needed. There is free street parking out front and a driveway in the back with stairs to go up. There is a second unit in the basement.
It was really great. The photos and the actual place were the same, and the condition of the accommodation was the best. The host was so kind.
The place was mint! Easy to get in, quiet, clean.. close to the airport!
Fantastic house with all amenities, Elke was super responsive and we had a great time. Sure to visit next time we are in Calgary.
I had a wonderful stay at Elke's place! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the appliances I needed, which made cooking super convenient. Elke was also incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a 10/10 experience. I would definitely stay here again!
I truly enjoyed my stay here. The space was modern, minimal, and beautifully arranged, with everything I needed thoughtfully provided. It felt comfortable yet stylish, and I could feel the care put into every detail. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, making our stay even more comfortable. Highly recommend!
We had a truly wonderful experience staying here! The home was clean, spacious, and even better than the photos. Everything was thoughtfully set up and made us feel instantly at home. The hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating โ allowing us an early check-in, which made a big difference after a long journey. Communication was smooth, and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. The location was great, the neighborhood was quiet and safe, and all the amenities were exactly as described. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free Airbnb experience. We'd absolutely love to come back!
Host reply Thank you for the kind words. We are glad you enjoyed your stay
Elke was a fantastic hostโwelcoming, responsive, and thoughtful. Check-in was smooth and easy, and check-out was just as hassle-free. The whole experience felt relaxed and well organized. We had a fantastic stay. The home was exactly as describedโclean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We truly felt at home and would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for a great experience!
It was a really nice place, a good size for a family. It was very clean, and had some extra complimentary items included. We didn't cook in the kitchen, but it seemed to be well equipped. We liked that it is simply and minimally decorated, with comfortable furniture! I can fully recommend this stay!
Really enjoyed my stay here! Very clean and bright. Loved the little things such as coffee for the Keurig. Would definitely stay again!
Host reply That's great to hear. Thank you for choosing to stay with us
Elke's place were very clean and homey. Highly recommended.
Elke's place was exactly as described in the photos. Everything was perfect and matched the description perfectly. Elke was a fantastic host and her care for the property is evident. I would highly recommend
Was great!
Elke was a wonderful host. She always responded promptly to a question or concern. The place was ready to go: clean and supplied with hand and dish soap, facial tissues, dishwasher detergent, etc. The bed was comfy, the appliances all worked well. The space has good lighting, both overhead and lamps. In our month-long visit, we needed both the A/C and heat and they both worked well. It is in a young neighborhood, with lots of activity, but quiet and felt very safe. It takes a short drive to reach either of the urban train lines park & ride lots, which was great for trips downtown and to the Stampede. I would absolutely stay here again or in another of Elke's properties.
The place is very cozy and exceptionally clean a perfect spot for couples, their fur baby, and a perfect place for a staycation! It's fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, making it feel just like home. The kitchen has all the essentials, the bathroom is well-stocked, and the bedroom smells fresh with clean linens. Parking is super convenient, right in front of the door (not out on the road). Elke is very responsive and provides clear instructions. If we're ever back in Calgary, this will definitely be our go-to place to stay!
The property was impeccably clean and well-maintained, which made me feel right at home. It was conveniently located near restaurants, gas station, groceries, making it easy to explore the area. Elke was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing helpful tips and ensuring that my stay was comfortable. The amenities provided, such as separate office, kitchen supplies, etc were a great addition and made my stay even more enjoyable.
My friends and I had a great stay at this beautiful home in Calgary! The house was clean and had everything we needed. It was the perfect space to relax after a day of exploring the city. The host was also very responsive and made check-in easy. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Calgary!
Elke was an awesome host! Always responsive and friendly. We really enjoyed our time there and we had everything we need during our stay! Recommend!
It is such a beautiful and comfortable house. I will recommend it to my friends who are going to Banff next time. Thank you.
Very clean and spacious. Host was responsive and really helpful!
Elke has a clean and nice place. We were very comfortable during our stay. Everything needed for a comfortable stay was available in the house. We would highly recommend this place to other guests visiting Calgary.
A great place for us on travels. Clean, comfortable and well equipped.
Beautiful place and well worth the cost to stay here. Host always quickly replied and provided great details and instructions to make our visit easier. Would highly recommend!
Lovely home in a quiet neighbourhood. Definitely would stay here again.
Beautiful place to stay in a quiet neighbourhood, close to airport! Good restaurants and grocery stores are also near by.
We rent that place for the second time and we still 100% satisfied, like the first time. Good communication, clean, quiet and a super host. Thanks again
Elke and co-host Elvis work hard to provide this beautiful home exceptionally-well-stocked, plus spotless-clean for guests. This is a huge amount of wonderful home at a very reasonable rate, with far more features than some comparable have. Highlights are how immaculate clean the house is, brand new everything, excellent appliances and more space than even the pictures show. We found that the very-high-quality mattresses, sheets, covers and excellent mattress protectors (which we always appreciate) delivered a slightly firm but also excellent support/quite-comfy sleep and well-rested mornings. The sofas are extremely comfy and mint new. Both of the two TVs are fantastic quality with tons of host-subscriped/free-provided programming. Air quality is excellent - very fresh and clean - no stains anywhere or anything detracting from that. We stayed here for a month and are thankful for this kind host's commitment to make everything great for guests. Great house - thanks again!
Elke was very accommodating and the house was beautiful! Very clean and super comfy. Would definitely stay here again!
The place was really nice and very clean. Definitely would recommend staying here.
Beautiful stay, the place was spotless and the accommodation was perfect
Great host. The place was spotless.
Kitchen was fully stocked, nice clean space. It was comfortable. Great location to walk the dog
The home was beautiful, easy to find and very clean
By far the best bnb we had in recent past. Location was exactly what we were looking for- not too close to downtown nor too distant from downtown. House itself was pristine clean, with lots of space for our group of 6. Bedding was fantastic and kitchen had all the utensils for cooking. Over all 5 star experience!
10/10 would recommend!
Elke's place was so clean, neat, beautiful and she is a very great host. We totally enjoyed our stay there and looking forward to staying there again. It was a place to call home for my family for our summer vacation. Elke was very nice, helpful and went over and beyond to make us comfortable. Every amenities you need was made available and all the amenities provided were top notch. The place was just as she said in the listing. She provided more than enough toiletries and all you need to have an enjoyable and comfortable stay. The place is just 9 to 11 mins drive to and from Cross Iron Mills and Costco which we found very nice. It was also very close to No Frills and Freshco supermarkets which made buying groceries very easy.
The house is really beautiful and well appointed! All the little details that make the difference. Ultra clean! Very satisfied!
Best airbnb I ever booked
Really enjoyed our stay, the place was spacious for our group of 7. Everything was clean and well supplied. Elke was a great host, always quick to respond and answer any questions.
We had a great time. The place is so nice, cozy and very clean. Everything you need is well provided. Host is very friendly and helpful too.
Elke's place is new and clean. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Great place, extremely clean, lots of space
So clean. Comfortable and quality beds, couches and all furniture. Very easy to check in and amazing instructions. Thanks so much!
Amazing house! Felt right at home, exactly as shown in the pictures. House was spotless and all the amenities listed! Couldn't be happier
Thumbs up! The place is clean and organized. What you see is what you get, accessible to malls and all the major highways for exploring nearby places.
Great airbnb to stay at! Everything was clean and organized. The area felt safe and was quiet even with construction going on we didn't even notice it. The host was also super good at responding when I had questions, and was very nice when I left some of my belongings behind, made sure everything was in order for me to get them back. Overall the stay was amazing and I would definitely recommend booking here!
The host was very responsive and had everything we needed for our stay. The house was spotless with comfortable furniture and bedding. Very well maintained.
Easy communication and fast response! Clean and tidy place. We had a wonderful stay where we felt right at home! Thank you!
Beautiful home, friendly hosts.
One of the best air b and b's we've stayed at. Everything was fresh and new and super clean! We had incredible communication with Elke and the hosts were extremely friendly and accommodated our need for extra bedding. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
Elke keeps a beautiful house! This place was perfect, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. It's easy to get in and out of and had lots to offer.
Great Airbnb! House was very modern and clean. Had flexible check-in and check-out times. Host was very responsive to messages. Would stay here again :)
Would highly recommend this place to anyone! Elke and Elvis were amazing hosts throughout our stay - they were very quick to solve any issues that arose and super accommodating. The space was beautiful and clean and felt like home!
Beautiful house, extremely clean and lots of space for our two toddlers to play. Loved that there was another upstairs living room so that they could have their own space to play and watch their movies. Great location as well, only 10 minutes from the Cross Iron Mills Mall for us! 10/10 recommend!
Host reply Thank you Jacoba. We are happy we could provide a home away from home for you and your family. Thank you for leaving the place so clean.
The owner response very quick and useful. The house very clean and new, very great condition and spacious. We highly recommended to stay here if you got a car.
Highly recommended
Excellent stay here and Elke was really helpful and responsive. Food options nearby, peaceful and quiet place. Highly recommended!
Well situated, really nice and spacious house. Very well equipped and clean! We felt just like home! Thank you!
Great stay with our family of 6. Kids had lots of room to play and everything was there we needed. Very clean and would definitely stay here again! Thanks for everything
We recently had the pleasure of staying in a beautiful 3-bedroom Airbnb with our kids, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed with the attention to detail and the care that had been put into this property. One of the first things that struck us was the comfortable leather couch in the living room, which quickly became our go-to spot for relaxation and family bonding. The cushioned stairs were not only safe for the kids but added an extra touch of comfort and luxury to the space. The entire place exuded a sense of freshness, as everything seemed brand new and impeccably maintained. From the gleaming kitchen appliances to the pristine bathrooms, it was clear that the hosts take great pride in ensuring their guests have the best possible experience. One of the standout features for us was the well-equipped kitchen.
This was hands down my most favourite Airbnb of all the ones I stayed at so far. I highly recommend staying here if you like quiet neighbourhoods and if you have a vehicle to get around. The furniture, decor and cleanliness made it feel very comfortable and homey. I did not want to leave!!! It was so convenient the hot water didn't run out after 3 people showered before me. The hosts were amazing and went above & beyond to ensure our comfort. Definitely five stars. Again I highly recommend staying here.
Elke's place is an extraordinary house (that feels like home) with the great service.
Elke's place is really good. It is same as description. I'll definitely come back next time.
Elke's place was wonderful and lovely, the cohost was very responsive and very helpful! I would love to stay there again if I have the chance
very friendly and helpful, the place was spotless and cozy, would stay again for sure
Great place!
The Livingston Suite
10 five-star reviews. About this home
Cozy and exactly as described! Had all the amenities and was clean. Elke is very responsive and helpful!
The service is as described and promoted, great room condition and the owner is highly recommended and always informative and on communication, will be my preferred option if returning to destination.
I would recommend staying here. This place is very clean and modern. Elke was very responsive and accommodating. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to a small plaza.
Our stay was excellent from beginning to end. The place was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed to make our visit relaxing and enjoyable. One of the biggest advantages of this accommodation is its convenient location. It is well connected to Calgary's main highways, making it easy and quick to reach all the city's major attractions, shopping areas, restaurants, and other destinations. Most importantly, Elke was outstanding. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, always available to help and consistently went the extra mile to ensure we had a pleasant and comfortable stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would happily stay here again on our next visit to Calgary. We highly recommend Elke's place to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and welcoming place to stay.
Elke was very responsive throughout our stay!
It's a nice place to stay, beautiful neighborhood to take a walk, we're really thankful that they received us with our cat. Super comfy place!
Great suite in a new development. Clean and bright basement suite. Has everything you need for a long or short term stay.
It was a stay of more than 15 days, the place was very clean and very comfortable, 100% recommended.
Very nice clean accommodation
Elke's place was immaculate and comfortable throughout! She was super responsive and friendly all of the time. I would definitely recommend staying here ๐
The critical reviews
The main theme is sound between floors when the north house is booked as separate units. We say so on the property page, and the whole-house option avoids it entirely.
The host was responsive (at almost 11pm!) and helped us reconnect to wifi after we accidentally unplugged one of the cords. We bumped into her and she was very kind and made us feel welcomed. They did have a young child who we could hear running and crying through the ceiling, but my husband and I were never bothered by it. It was a very pleasant stay otherwise!
Lovely home, only thing is downstairs tenant complained, we had 3 children with us, one being a two year old, so they got a little loud.
Entrance is located from back alley and there is garbage everywhere from households. They desperately need a community clean up! Unit is clean with basic amenities. Bed is not comfortable! Worked from home while staying and the noise level from upper level is terrible. Children screaming and thumping across floor, numerous families at same time and absolutely no additional sound barrier. When booking no mention of potential guests upstairs that might make it difficult to work. When we complained we were offered to move to another property with children living above us. Charged for repair of microwave spring in door that broke when I simply opened door. Be aware anything breaks while staying there you are paying for it. We left property 2 days early which they approved but they neglected to tell me I would only get a refund of .22 cents and they refused to contact Airbnb to try and make it right. Overall disappointing!!
Not for toddlers! The accommodation was very cozy and spacious. Just be careful, less suitable for small children, as the house in the basement has tenants who have complained several times, with personal visits and shouting from below. As a result, we avoided using the living area. Otherwise, it is a quiet area for nice walks and everything necessary quickly accessible by car. The hostess also came by to clear the entrance of snow. Parking spaces are plentiful and everything you need in the bathroom and kitchen is available.
Host reply Hi Jill, We are sorry about your experience with the basement guests. We take complaints such as yours very seriously and we addressed them with the basement guests immediately. Our aim is to provide a home away from home. We are sorry your experience wasn't as great as we had hoped. Unfortunately, it's hard to control other guests behaviours. These guests are now gone. Again we do apologize for the behaviour of the basement guests.
it was a good clean place, good communication it was peaceful
Accommodations were brand new & very clean. Check in was flexible, time wise and Elke was very responsive in communication. The air system seems to be difficult to navigate and we could not get the upstairs to cool down. For my fellow fan people - there are no fans. The beds are very hard. Those who are sensitive to scents - there were a couple of air freshener tubs throughout the home.
Host reply Hi Emily, Thank you for your review. We always ask our guest to reach our if they have any issues. The house is air-conditioned. We could have helped with adjusting the temperature if you had asked for help. The air fresheners can be removed easily if sensitive to sent. As for the beds, you are the first one who has ever complained and its impossible to provide the perfect mattress for every guest. Thank you for the stay.
