The location with regard to proximity to downtown restaurants and shops as well as easy access to Banff and Yoho National Parks was great. The condo faces a shopping center parking lot. Because there is no air conditioning (which was fine) you needed to have the windows open. The street noise was very loud! Delivery trucks, landscaping eqiupment, etc. was all very noisy. Also, the condo wasn't very clean. I did communicate the issues to the owner. She did refund my cleaning fee. But, never offered to have someone come and redo it. We actually had to clean some of the messes ourselves. The living room lamp was missing a lampshade, one of the dining room chairs was broken, food crumbs on one of the end tables. This was very disappointing. For what we paid, I would have expected more.
