Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kasia Aug 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication The apartment is very conveniently located close to town and tourist attractions, with beautiful views of the Macdonnell Ranges and The Gap. Excellent WiFi, but limited access to streeming chanels. The front of the property, the balcony and the bath tab look uninviting and neglected. The front security gate broken. ##### Kasia Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Really enjoyed coffee on the balcony with the view of the ranges. Nice setting, and comfortable. Communication with property owner is a niggle as it goes via Vrbo/Stayz and it takes a while to get a response. Otherwise, hosts are great! ##### Martin Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Oceanfront Hotels in La Jolla](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Jolla-Hotels-Oceanfront-Hotels.0-0-d6126584-tOceanfrontHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d180017-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Incheon Airport Transit Hotel - Terminal 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Incheon-Hotels-Incheon-Airport-Transit-Hotel.h21592487.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Alberta](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Alberta-Golf-Hotel.0-0-d11111-tGolfHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Sandman Signature Calgary Downtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Calgary-Downtown-Hotel.h19870.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Renaissance-New-York-Midtown-Hotel.h11668428.Hotel-Information) > > [Grey Rose Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Grey-Rose-Suites.h16038200.Hotel-Information) > > [Starhotels Michelangelo](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Starhotels-Michelangelo.h448.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmont Vancouver - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Hotel-Belmont-Vancouver.h68323.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edmonton-Downtown.h795159.Hotel-Information) > > [ANDAZ OTTAWA BYWARD MARKET, BY HYATT](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Andaz-Ottawa-Byward-Market-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h15259047.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cornavin](https://www.expedia.ca/Geneva-Hotels-Hotel-Cornavin.h460410.Hotel-Information) > > [Grey Goose Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Castor-Hotels-Grey-Goose-Motel.h18278818.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Tempe](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-The-Westin-Tempe.h60258737.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels.d601750.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Niagara-Falls.h1403139.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Barcelona](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Hilton-Barcelona.h10350.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Bogotá (BOG) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bog/yeg/bogota-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/yyc/hamilton-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/lax/edmonton-to-los-angeles) > > [WestJet Cranbrook (YXC) to Calgary (YYC) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-canadian-rockies-intl-to-calgary-intl/ws/yxc/yyc) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yeg/calgary-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/180002/flights-from-edmonton) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/edi/yyz/edinburgh-to-toronto) > > [Air Transat](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Transat-Flights.cTS.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Marrakech (RAK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/rak/montreal-to-marrakech) ### Activities > [Things to do in Squamish](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Squamish.d57377.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### General > [Visit The Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-The-Village.dx6241981) > > [Visit Long Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Point.dx553248635851253622)
