This studio was immaculate, with nice natural light for a basement unit. We loved the charm and uniqueness of Strathcona and quickly became regulars at The Wilder Snail coffee shop (the UBC cake is amazing!). The location was perfect for us, as we could easily get to our son's in East Hastings but we still had great access to downtown. Samantha was extremely responsive, helping us figure out where to find groceries on a stat holiday and answering all our questions. She even invited us to join Jason's birthday party. We made a lot of use of the bikes and all of the local maps and information that were provided. Extras like a blender, coffee grinder and the free wifi were very much appreciated. We were not bothered by noise from upstairs; we never heard them before 8:30am.
We feel lucky to have found this place for our first Airbnb experience. Thank you Samantha!
