The place is at one of the best locations. Good access to skytrain also to grocery stores and Burnaby Park.
Safeway, London Drug, BC Liquor, TD Bank and a lot of restaurants are under 5 min walk away.
Joyce-Collingwood Skytrain is just 15 min walk or alternatively you can take 2 min walk to the bus station for a direct bus to Joyce-Collingwood.
The place is in Vancouver at the border of Burnaby so you can reach all the way to Waterfront in zone-1 charges.
Burnaby Central Park is also under 10 min walk away. You can get a run, bike or a hike on the park which also has a lighted Tennis Court. The park also has a stadium and also is partially surrounded by rubberized path to get low impact running.
While I was there I never needed a car. I could do everything by walking or quick public transit.
Marina is also amazing, she provided whatever we needed and also allowed us to use her patio exclusively which was amazing. She allowed us to use her back lawn and also shared the produce from her vegetable garden.
