There are so many great things about this place! First, the location was ideal. It's a two-second walk to Commercial Drive, where you'll find almost no limit of coffee shops, restaurants, markets, etc. I saw five or six improv shows at the little theatre in the back of Havana, just a 12- minute walk up the street. In the other direction, less than a 10-minute walk away, is the SkyTrain, which takes you anywhere you need to go!

Another thing I really liked about this place was having my own cozy little patio. It was a very pleasant place to have my morning tea and read. I also really appreciated having my owner washer/dryer right there in my space to use as I needed.

Finally, my hosts themselves were great! They were always available whenever I needed anything. I had to print a few things out and they took care of it, no problem. I was delighted one day to return home and find a bowl of fresh-picked plums from their tree!
