Colin and Iris’ apartment is even more lovely in real life than in the pictures. We loved that it’s a historic property, and it keeps all of the character of an older place whilst being incredibly comfortable and modern. It is very spacious, and has absolutely everything you could need. We stayed for over two weeks and so we cooked and did laundry and really treated it like a home away from home, and it was perfect. Really well designed, lots of personality, and the bath was also a highlight - luxurious!
The neighbourhood is brilliant - Strathcona has so many interesting little shops, and great restaurants and bars, all within an easy walk of the apartment. Plus a lovely micro-brewery just around the corner. We really made the most of being in that area, and loved it. It’s also only a 20 min walk from the centre of the city.
There were so many kind touches that Colin and Iris added that made the stay special - extras left around the flat for us, flexibility around check out, and they were always available for advice and questions.
You definitely won’t find more lovely hosts or a more beautiful home, so I highly recommend!
