I stayed at Elsa's place for a week while attending conferences at the Univ. of British Columbia (UBC). Her daughter welcomed me when I first showed up and patiently answered all my questions. I was struck right away by the impeccable cleanliness of the place; she maintains her home very well! The house is located in a quiet residential area right by Slocan Park. Though UBC is an hour away, it takes 4-5 minutes to walk to the #33 bus stop. The 29th Avenue train station, too, is just 7 minutes away. I was out all day, so my interaction with Elsa and her husband was brief but very pleasant. It was very kind of her to let me keep my luggage for an extra day as I had a late-night return flight (and no new guest/s were scheduled to arrive). I didn't have to lug my suitcase around when I went sightseeing. Thank you Elsa for your kind hospitality!
