1319 Calgary Nude
Super nice place to stay if you are travelling around Calgary. Easy free parking on the street is a huge bonus for me as I was renting a car. The host is also very friendly and provides a lot of details of his Airbnb. Highly recommended

Downtown City View With A Neon Light Experience
This place is perfect! It can be neon if you want it - or you can turn off the lights, rest in the most comfortable bed EVER, open the sliding door, and listen to the buzz of the city. The kitchen was so well stocked that I didn’t get to check out *every* coffee shop because I had the best coffee and a coffee maker with a steamer, primo! I am not a city girl (hence the opportunity to stay in a high rise being extra unique for me) and had anxiety about parking and entering but Ally couldn’t have been more clear with the instructions - I had no questions at all, from start to finish. And the building was so easy to navigate, maybe I could be a city girl after all! The neighborhood was so easy to walk - close to hot spots but also close to parks and historical markers. I had an amazing 2 day stay and would love to stay here again! Thank you, Ally!

Chic 1BR Kensington unit W/Free UG Parking
All was as described when we arrived. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more — we really appreciated having some spices/seasonings. The condo is in a great location, and we had no concerns about security. It was quiet (even with construction of a new building next door) and clean.

Urbanest - Spectacular Views & Amenities Parking
This was a fantastic stay! Our hosts, Richard and Teresa, were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The room was very comfortable and clean, with all the necessary amenities. A particular highlight was the stunning city view from the property. It was breathtaking both during the day and at night. Highly recommended!

Mins to Stampede » Free Wine, Parking, Gym & More
This location is the perfect stay whether you are travelling with a co-worker, friends or larger family. So welcoming and clean, with great bedding and all the amenities. You can tell this host cares about your experience. Can't wait to return.

Apt DT Calgary w/Parking, Banff Pass, Stampede
my husband and I stayed at The Guardian, which is the name of their condo building in their one bedroom condo overlooking beautiful downtown calgary from the 13th floor; the view is breathtaking, especially sunsets and all the lights, calgary tower etc. Jen and steven provided clear cut instructions for check in and check out, which made the process easy. above all, they are quite responsive on airbandb messages. their condo had all the amenities you can think of. the building gym was undergoing maintenance but it would be available otherwise. most important was the great parking spot they got us. i had described the size of the vehicle- larger suv- and they ensured we got appropriate size parking in the building heated underground parking garage! thank you for the snacks, unlimited tea, coffee, water :) all their appliances were top notch; brand new. thank you for welcoming us and for the banff pass! would definitely stay here again.

We had a really pleasant stay at Cathy’s place! Host was welcoming and friendly, gave us a rundown on how to work some amenities.

Your guide to Calgary
All About Calgary
The former frontier city of Calgary is set on the western edge of the prairie regions at the base of the great Canadian Rocky Mountains. This once-booming cattle ranching hub was founded as a frontier fort before going through many changes of identity. It now serves as a major metropolitan area, cultural center, and economic hub for Alberta. Despite its relatively young age, Calgary has a rich history — ranching, cowboys, and Indigenous cultures are integral parts of day-to-day life here, along with events throughout the year, from the Calgary Folk Music Festival to Aboriginal history tours and music festivals.
From the sun-drenched summer months to cozy, snow-filled winters, this gateway to Western Canada offers hundreds of miles of urban park trails and ski runs, and even surfing on the Bow River, which runs right through downtown. The buzzing Beltline district is home to bars aplenty, and you can shop for vintage vinyl and linger over coffee in tight-knit Kensington.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Calgary
Calgary’s temperature and weather variations swing drastically with the seasons. Winter is the most popular time to head to a vacation rental in Calgary to make the most of its skiing. The winter months see temperatures drop well below freezing, with lots of accompanying snowfall. The colder months bring pristine skiing and snowboarding conditions to the surrounding mountain communities and ski hills. February brings a free, interactive lights and music event for all ages that spreads throughout the downtown core with art displays, food trucks, and more. During the summer, the area sees moderate temperatures and long, warm nights full of festivals and events. August’s famous fireworks display is a coordinated musical event orchestrated by world-class pyrotechnic artists from across the globe.
Top things to do in Calgary
Prince’s Island Park
Surrounded by the Bow River, Prince’s Island Park offers around 50 acres of peaceful pathways right in the heart of the city. You can enjoy barbecues and lively music festivals in the summer and wrap up warm to join the locals ice skating on the outdoor rink in winter. The 1.7-mile Prince’s Island Loop traces the bank of the river, where you can strap on roller blades, hop on a bike, or take a relaxing stroll and watch mallards bobbing around in the river.
Heritage Park Historical Village
A 15-minute drive outside of downtown Calgary, Heritage Park Historical Village sits on the bank of the Glenmore Reservoir. This immersive, village-sized museum recreates life on the Alberta prairie lands in the 19th century. A First Nations encampment, trading fort, and paddle steamer are featured on-site, and you can ride an antique steam train that winds around the park.
Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park
Around an hour east of the city, Blackfoot Crossing is a National Historic site — this is where Chief Crowfoot and other Indigenous leaders signed the Treaty 7 in 1877, which established the Siksika reservation. The centerpiece is an environmentally-friendly building inspired by First Nations headdresses and tipis. Members of the Siksika/Blackfoot Nation perform traditional dances in its 100-seat theater, and you can sample time-honored fry bread at the onsite restaurant with commanding views across the prairie.
