What a beautifully restored heritage property, less than 10 minutes from downtown.
The studio was huge and had every comfort you could imagine. The neighbourhood is safe with a warm community feel.
I met Samantha twice. Having used Airbnb for 5 years I can say it does make a difference to meet the host.
It is only fair to mention that a couple of blocks over is East Hastings which is rather industrial with some homelessness. However as a woman travelling solo I never once felt uneasy.
Highly recommend.
