  Description

  INNER CITY CALGARY HOME
  
  A peaceful and relaxing home in the inner city of Calgary, Alberta with easy access to both the sights of the city and the Rocky Mountains. In addition, it is 157 steps to hundreds of acres of parkland. There is a bus stop 60 seconds from the front door and a train station a short walk away that is only a few stops into the city.
  
  My home is a ‘No smoking, No drug and No alcohol’ home. (If you smoke you can smoke outside.) I have pets...cats and dogs so an appreciation of animals is important.
  
  I am a professional (I work from home) woman, engaged and soon to be married. I naturally gravitate towards people who are open-hearted, generous of spirit, positive and self aware. Most of the people I surround myself with are making a positive difference in the world or are on a spiritual or personal growth journey of some kind.
  
  I value heart felt, emotionally intimate connections with friends and associates. I enjoy people. I am fit, eat healthily (primarily vegan) and appreciate being outdoors in nature.
  
  My home is ideal for you if you are a generous spirited, open hearted, emotionally mature person with a good sense of humour. (Please note: I do not host couples or friends travelling together.)
