The apartment was very well located in kitsilano, a nice suburb, within 10 minutes walk of supermarkets & restaurants, but was very much smaller than we had expected, & whilst we are sure was suitable for singles & younger couples, it was not the best choice for older folk like us.
However it was spotlessly clean, & very well-equipped + Traci generously provided a number of complimentary breakfast items for us - much appreciated.
On our second day, we found the solution to the noisy fridge/freezer, which was to turn it off overnight with the easily accessible internal dial. So after that we slept much better.
+ On enquiry, on day 2, Traci disclosed that the room thermostat was disguised as a wall clock - quite like any thermostats we had seen before, so after that we were able to belatedly set it to warm up the rather chilly space to a comfortable level.
And then just as we were leaving we met Traci herself, whom we discovered lived in the house above the basement studio in which we were housed.
She was very pleasant & friendly and we wished this meeting had been at the start of our stay to show us round the flat & point things out.
