It is always wonderful staying at Howie and Lisa`s excellent apartment. The apartment is cozy and has all that someone visitng Vancouver would need. The kitchen has a microwave, toaster oven and toaster, along with a kettle plus a small fridge which is sufficient. The bed is super comfortable. Street parking is available (just watch the signs). Check in is easy. The location is great - just off Commercial Drive. There are many fabulous shops along the street and close by- CaffeLaTana, Uprising Bakery, Bosa (Italian grocery store) and Via Tevere (wood fired pizza), among many, many others. The neighbourhood is fun to walk around, interesting homes to be seen. It is close to downtown either by Skytrain or bus. Howie and Lisa are the best hosts - available, caring and super friendly. My go to place when I travel to Vancouver!
