We had a lovely time staying at Paige and Grant's basement suite. Paige has created a unique environment with her carpentry, providing a warm place to return to after a day out sightseeing. Everything has been done to perfection, with high end appliances in the kitchen and bathroom. Grant was very obliging in catering to our reliance on buses which brought us to Vancouver earlier than expected, and in helping us with directions and good places to go. The map and list of restaurants etc was very welcome. Just down the road are two grocery stores, an interesting visit in themselves, and which provided the essential supplies for a few days. (The pumpkin pie from the second shop was delicious!) The street is tree lined, with a nearby park, giving a special ambience to the neighbourhood of colourful and interesting houses. Chinatown is not too far away. Bus stops were reasonably easy to negotiate. Staying here will offer an insight into living close to the city, but in houses with backyards, and a special community judging from the book, "This is East Van" in which Grant's photography is included. A very lovely, spacious, clean modern place to stay. Thank you so much Paige and Grant for having us.
