Hi All,

Going to be moving to the downtown area soon and looking at prospective locations. I WFH right now but anticipate an eventual return to the office.

I've never rented before so in addition to advice on location, any suggestions for a first time renter are welcome.

Suggestions on areas, specific buildings that are good or to avoid, where to look for reviews, how to find a good place (been browsing using rentfaster), how to deal with landlords etc are all welcome.

I've lived in Calgary for a long time but never lived near the core before.

Preferences are close to food, grocery, public transit. No kids, so schools are irrelevant to me. Not particularly concerned about nightlife all that much, I'm old and boring now.

TIA.
