Airbnb has become the trendy and economical way to stay while travelling anywhere around the world. You could always book with your standard hotel, or you could stay in a hip apartment with a stellar view of downtown and your own private patio for about the same cost.
There are many Airbnb’s available around Calgary, but only some of them come with a wow-factor that will make your getaway memorable.
