Birgit and Andrew’s place is ideally located if you’re seeking a place poised between Chinatown/Gastown and Commercial Drive. Good coffee, breweries and food nearby, including a gelato joint with an insanely diverse array of flavours, though the immediate area is quiet and residential. The suite is small—not so much suited for preparing food, though there is a small fridge, utensils, teas and coffee and a coffeemaker—but it’s clean and surprisingly warm thanks to radiant floors. Birgit was friendly and informative.
