Our home is on a quiet street with fantastic neighbors. We have a large yard and deck that backs on to a bus stop. Our home boasts 4 bedrooms in total and 3.5 bathrooms. Large driveway for parking.
The space
Three bedrooms upstairs (1 king, 1 double and 1 single bed) and two full bathrooms. The basement is finished with high ceilings, sofa and TV, a full bathroom and bedroom with a queen sized bed and toys.
The main floor consists of the living room with TV, kitchen, dining room, half bath and laundry.
We have air conditioning and separate heat for the basement to keep the entire house comfortable all seasons.
Guest access
Two floors plus basement. Steps to get into the house.
Notes
Our two cats will be at the home. They are allowed outdoors and come in when it gets dark. They are older and don't go far. We can ask a neighbor to care for them if you will be gone for a few days.
Our dog would stay with a neighbor on our street.

Family of four. I'm Ghislaine and my husband is Darold. We are in our 40/50s and are both long time corrections employees with the government. We both enjoy the outdoors and walking our dog. Darold loves restoring and painting motorcycles and his project truck We have a 13 year old daughter that is quiet and loves art and a 10 year old son who loves cats and video games. We live in Calgary Canada with our dog and 1 cat. We are new to house swapping.
