In the heart of Point Grey, it's only a 5 minute walk to a nearby playground. Probably a little further to the nearest grocer, but I did walk with my 4-year-old and it wasn't so bad.
The hosts are AMAZING. If you value courtesy, generosity and kindness, then stay here.
The place is a bit antique-ish, not modern. I felt this was all part of the charm, but if you are into modernized elegance, then this might not be for you. If you like classic places with nostalgia back for decades, then it's perfect.
