Guest Reviews

• Frank (10/5): - We stayed at Michel's apartment for 10 days in March 2026: Michel was exceptionally accommodating, friendly, and always helpful, so we felt very comfortable from the very beginning. The apartment was very well-equipped and left nothing to be desired: everything was clean, modern, and very thoughtfully designed and maintained! We were completely satisfied with our stay and would recommend the apartment without hesitation – especially for longer stays! If our vacation plans ever take us back to Yellowknife, Michel's apartment will be our first choice!
• Gisela (10/5): We were very impressed with the host. We sent a grocery list to purchase for us for breakfast next day and when I opened - The property is located in a safe neighborhood and is fully equipped with all appliances and more. Nothing. We loved everything
• Golden (10/5): Great stay, everything we needed and more. - A truly exceptional stay at The Niven Lake. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtful, calm, and beautifully curated. The location is stunning, the accommodation is immaculate, and the overall experience strikes the perfect balance. A wonderful place to unwind, reconnect. Highly recommended and we look forward to returning. The property is slightly outside town, so a car or taxi is helpful. Walking is possible depending on the weather. We visited in March and temperatures were still on the cooler side.
• Fujiki (9/5): オーロラツアーの拠点 - キッチンが充実。買ってきたものを調理できるだけでなく、コーヒーやシリアル、調味料なども充実しており、コンビニ的なものがない環境でも困ることはなかったです。夜のオーロラツアーなどに参加するために一日のスケジュールを組み立てていたので、我が家のように過ごしながら時間調整するのに都合がよかったです。 また、コンディションが良かったのだと思いますが、到着したその日は家の前からもオーロラを見ることができ、そういった点でもありがたい滞在となりました。 ダウンタウンまで徒歩20分くらい。散歩がてらちょうどいい距離感でしたが、歩くのが好きでない人には厳しいかもしれません。
• YATING (10/5): 很好 - 干净整洁 空间很大 冰箱里有饮料 有锅 热水壶等 非常便利 像在家里一样 很方便。适合家庭 一家三口入住
• Darlene (9/5): - Stay was very good, I would definitely stay again The only minor thing was that the queen mattress is quite soft. I prefer a firm mattress to avoid bad aches. Not enough to make me not book again.
• YOKO (10/5): 最高でした！ - 部屋が広く清潔で、設備が全て高級品で揃えられており、とてもセンスが良かったです。 3泊の滞在でしたがとても快適に過ごすことができました。またぜひ宿泊したいと思いました。 オーナーの方もとても親切でした。 全くありません。
• Yuko (9/5): 安全な地域！快適だが送迎なし。 - 安全な地域。 自炊出来る設備が揃っている。 冷蔵庫や食器棚に食料品や調味料が多数あり(オーナーが補充したもの＋前宿泊者が残した物？)、必要に応じて利用させていただいた。 空港からの送迎サービスがないこと。 有料で構わないので、片道だけでも送迎サービスを実施してくだされば嬉しかった。
• Yuen Lee (10/5): - 6 Stars The host was very helpful and responsive. And he provides everything you need. My friends and I had a very comfortable stay. We are going to recommend it to our friends who wish to visit Yellowknife.
• Joji (10/5): -
• Elizabeth (10/5): - The apartment is beautiful, well-stocked with everything you need and has very comfortable beds. We stayed four nights and will definitely stay here again. It's in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with just a 15 minute walk to town. The owner is communicative and accommodating.
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Immediately as we walked in the apartment felt inviting and fresh. The apartment is lovely and very clean, and the kitchen is surprisingly well stocked. I am really really impressed and would recommend this spot to everyone!
• Barry (10/5): The apartment was great, clean and comfortable. -
• Maya (10/5): Unforgettable weekend in Yellowknife - We had a wonderful stay in Yellowknife. The property is very clean, fully equipped with everything you would need for pleasant stay. Great location in a quiet neighborhood. The host went above and beyond in making sure we have everything we need and was very generous with his time and knowledge. Thank you Michel for everything and especially for sharing the beauty of Yellowknife,
• Voudrach (10/5): I had a very comfortable stay.. - The apartment is beautiful. I loved everything about it. It was comfortable and clean. N/A
• Maria (10/5): Lovely apartment and brilliant host - Michel, our host, was very friendly and extremely helpful.
• やま (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts were very accommodating, telling us in advance about the clothing rental vendor and receiving them in advance. The location was great and the room was wonderful. Thank you！
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Larry (9/5): A very affordable, comfortable place to stay in a nice upscale neighborhood -
• Glenn (10/5): Exceptional - Location was excellent for us! Property was very clean, very well organized, 2 bedroom layout was great, and came with loads of amenities. Trail walk around the lake was beautiful. We could incorporate a walk into town utilizing the lake trail. Bonus was we did not need to go on tour for Northern lights as the best show was out our front door! If I must, I could not find a non-slip pad for the shower. I'm certain this well stocked property had one? I just could not find it.
• Stuart (10/5): Perfect location and suite for my needs. - Location, amenities and attention to details were excellent! Nothing could be better.
