It was a delight to stay at Iris's basement apartment. Iris had thought of all the little touches and she had made the place welcoming, comfortable, relaxing and clean. The basement which feels like a spacious apartment (we were four adults) can be accessed by a side entrance. Access was easy - Iris had sent instructions beforehand.
The apartment was in a quiet location and we had a great night sleep.
The apartment was well equipped with everything that was needed, with extras such as shampoos in the bathroom, food bags and foil in the kitchen. The lounge area with the TV had a comfortable sofa with cushions, great for relaxing. There was a table nicely laid out for four.
The whole place has been tastefully decorated to the highest standard and everything is well-maintained. I could not fault it in any way. I wish we had had a longer stay there.
The closest food shop although with limited items was a 7/11 but if you look at an online map, there is a bigger well-stocked supermarket called '88 supermarket' which is about a 30 minute walk away (2.2 km). Well worth a visit as it has lots of fresh produce, baked goods, fish, fruit/veg etc. The apartment is not close to the skytrain however there are buses nearby I understand.
Iris has also provided a washing machine and dryer, which were very handy.
Thank you for a delightful stay, Iris.
