Welcome to Calgary, and to Nolan Hill! A community full full of walking pathways and close to amenities. My home is open, modern and perfect for any family, couple or single person. A big kitchen is welcoming to a food lover, while the basement is a perfect place to cozy up to watch a movie. My garden out back with a large deck is the perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine.
A 3 minute drive up the hill takes you to a main thoroughfare which takes you down into the City Centre or head west to the Rocky Mountains.
The Space
I live in a 2 story laned home. My home was built in 2014 so relatively new. I developed the basement in 2020 (thank you Covid!) which allows for guests to have their own space if I am home while you are visiting. My home has a more open concept feeling. My main floor has a living area, dining room and front office. My back yard has a large deck to sit out and enjoy during nice weather. I have a garage in the back as well.
Guest Access
My home is 2 floors with a developed basement. There are 3 bedrooms up stairs and one guest bedroom in the basement. Guests can access the home both through the front or rear doors.

People Like Us Local Guide
I'd love to meet up with other PLU members to give them suggestions on what to do and see in Calgary and the surrounding areas. I'm happy to provide guidance, directions or just a friendly 'hello' to other members!
We really enjoyed our stay at Kristy’s beautiful, modern, and comfortable home in Calgary. It’s located in a quiet residential neighborhood while still being conveniently close to shops, restaurants, and other amenities.
Kristy was warm, welcoming, and very easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend exchanging with Kristy and hope to have the opportunity to host her in our home in Kelowna in the future!
Kristy was certainly the Hostess with the Mostest, a beautiful home, well located and comfortable as well knowledgeable, helpful and good fun!
We were 3 individual travellers attending the Rotary International Convention, the Calgary Stampede and the. Rockies and Kristy’s home was a fantastic home base for us
I can certainly recommend an exchange with Kristy and I look forward to keeping in touch in the future
Thank you Kristy for your kindness in hosting us in the beautiful city of Calgary. Please come and see us when you are next in the UK.
Kristy's home was spacious, warm, welcoming, super comfortable, well-equipped and well-located. We especially loved the surprise of the huge basement! What a perfect place. Don't hesitate to exchange with Kristy.
Kristy opened her arms with welcome to my brother and I to her home.
Lots of room, clean and decorated nicely. Location was perfect for a couple of nights before going to the Rockies. Kristy was a help with information and communication.
Kristy Moore's parents, Joan and Murray, were the exchange guests in our Maui home. They were celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary and their daughter, Kristy, gifted this extraordinary Maui experience to them. They couldn't have been more appreciative, lovely, grateful and so very considerate of our Maui home. They left it in beautiful shape. We now consider them friends and would welcome them back in a heartbeat!
We so enjoyed having Kristy spend time with us and stay in our home.
She was absolutely delightful to visit with and was a very respectful and kind guest!
I would 100% welcome her back in our home any time!
Feedback for Cristina·Non-Reciprocal exchange·7 nights
Christina was extremely well organized and everything was ready and waiting for us when we arrived. Her communication was excellent prior to our trip. I really appreciated having her home manual sent to peruse before we came.
The home was centrally located and easy to get to both downtown Victoria and surrounding areas. Both Tom and Christina were extremely hospitable and had great suggestions for cycling routes and other local areas.
We stayed in the basement which was clean and well stocked. The space was big and had all the necessities.
I would easily stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting this area!
Susan and Murray were great guests. They left my home extremely clean and were really great at communicating. A great connection made on People Like Us!
Feedback for Anne & Mike·Non-Reciprocal exchange·7 nights
Annie and Mike were so gracious to accept one of my globes so that my parents could enjoy celebrating their 50th Wedding anniversary in Hawaii. Annie happened to be Maui during their stay and reached out to my parents to see how things were during their stay. My parents absolutely loved their stay and Annie and Mike's home. In my Mom's words, "Annie has now become a friend and we hope to continue this relationship for many years to come'. I would highly recommend reaching out to Annie and Mike to make your Maui vacation stress free and enjoyable!
Feedback for Jenni·Non-Reciprocal exchange·17 nights
It was an absolute delight to have Jenni stay in my home. She was extremely friendly, respectful, and courteous. I had a wonderful time getting to know both Jenni and her friends. She was so knowledgeable about people like us and offered many helpful tips and suggestions for my own troubles. I would highly recommend having Jenni stay in your home!
Carol and guest were my first guests I hosted through this platform. I couldn’t have asked for more delightful guests. Cheerful, kind and a great sense of humor. My only regret is that I couldn’t have spent more time with them. I would highly recommend having Carol in your home!
Lori was a fabulous host! She made me feel right at home with her welcoming demeanor, and invitation to eat meals together. She had wonderful suggestions on places to see. Will definitely stay here again!
