Good to have had this private little place as a base for our week long visit, Commercial Drive is definitely the most interesting shopping/eating out area outside of downtown, a mix of good cafes, huge variety of restaurants and quirky shops, not enough time to test all those places (Moja coffee and Belgian Fries (just once) for us please). The place was fine, felt safe, Howie & Lisa kindly provided lots of small details and goodies which were either yummy or helpful, lots of tourist brochures to browse through, wifi works, TV for rainy days, the bed is small but very comfortable, good hot shower. Catch bus 20 from East Hastings Street close to Waterfront and get out at Adanac Street, best buy day passes in advance at the information office.
