Quiet place on low-traffic street. Just a few blocks from main shopping area on Granville Street, with cafes, restaurants, shops. Tidy, uncluttered space with just enough furnishings. The building is very well insulated, so it was warm in winter. The lovely large window in the front room looks out on trees and lets in lots of light. There was very little sound from other residents in the building. One thing to note about security—the building door was nearly always left unlatched. This may have been due to residents or delivery people not shutting it properly. The apartment itself has two locks on the door—a deadbolt and a chain lock.
