With a new comer as us, Karen's home is ideal for us with a lovely kitchen with everything for me to cook for whole family including a 18-month-baby: microwave, blender, utensils... I wish there was a dishwasher, but it's not a big problem for us to wash dishes by hand for a few weeks.
It takes around 15-20 mins to walk to supermarkets in Dunbar street or West Broadway.
This is my first time to stay in basement, the heating was good during the coldest days of winter. Just one thing that was informed by Karen, the noise in the upper floor can be heard very clearly, especially the steps at night. That sometimes made me difficult to sleep.
Anyways, Thank you so much for hosting my family.
