An oasis in a quiet neighbourhood, a stone’s throw from Trout Lake Park and the Copley Community Orchard where you’re free to pick some fruit or berries, yet only a seven-minute walk to the bus and Skytrain station, meaning you’re very close to everything Vancouver has to offer.
One end of the living room is a wall-to-wall window which opens onto Donna’s front-yard wildflower garden, which, to me, absolutely made this place. It was like living in a brightly colored, Impressionist painting.
Donna was a congenial host, and very knowledgeable about the city in which she grew up. She was immediately responsive to my request for a few more cooking pots. She even offered me some fresh eggs from her backyard chicken coop!
