I would second this and also add Lower Mount Royal. Lower Mount Royal is nice because of all the nearby amenities and it is close to downtown (15 to 20 minute walk) but it sucks because of the traffic and noise. Marda Loop is great for location and amenities, parks and lots of choices for rentals. We lived in two different places in the area (South Calgary and Altadore) and in both cases we were close to 14th Street. It was a quick bus ride to downtown or a 30 minute walk although going home up the hill sucks.
