Lori is a lovely host who stayed up late to welcome us. She was very friendly throughout our stay. The apartment is on the ground floor with rather little light but very cozy. Lori has decorated it with a lot of attention to detail and it is kept neat and tidy with fresh flowers from her garden. It is a short ride from downtown in a quiet, residential area. The area itself feels safe but we would recommend taking a cab rather than the bus down E Hastings.
