Sophie and Pat's Main St. apartment was a perfect location for us to visit family who live in the neighborhood. The Whip pub was just across the street and there was good shopping south of Main. It's only 3 or 4 blocks from Buy Low Foods, which was a good place to buy groceries. (and it's downhill on the way home).
We had better luck with parking on 5th between Scotia and Brunswick.
The apartment was comfortable and we were happy to make it our home for 8 days.
