It was a wonderful time of my life! The location is good close to everything, just steps from Broadway and a few blocks from 4th street. The decor is cozy and makes us feel very welcomed. If you like to walk like me, just walk a little further and you will be on Point Gray Road (the beach street) with its marina, and one of Vancouver's most significant historic buildings the Old Hastings Store and beautiful views, 3km to be in one of the most beautiful places I've ever known that is Jericho Park, already on the beach with your foot in the sand if you want and if you are willing to walk a little further 5Km. you are in Pacífic Spirit Park. The bus is amazing too and very close to the house. I spent 4 months in the small studio, which works better if you are going to spend less time, the stove really is missing, because eating out every day is very expensive, the microwave limits the options quite a lot, but serves a person well, at the limit to two. The shower in the bathroom is actually very good, and the bed is a delight where you can see squirrels every day and a well kept garden. The small work table, very well met my needs as a researcher and the internet is great. Rasha and the girls are very nice and respectful people from the space both in terms of personal living and caring for the common environment. I was met with all my requests and established a relationship of friendship. Zuc the house cat, was a special love affair.
