We had an amazing stay at Claudio and Elana's cozy retreat. From the warm welcome sign, fresh eggs, juice, coffee and cream, we felt at home. Ombu's restaurant recommendations were also great, and we checked out quite a few of them. The accommodations were just what we needed for a party of two. We especially appreciated the helpful notes left around the unit to help us navigate the wifi, tub, and kitchen questions. My husband was really interested in staying in a real neighborhood, and Strathcona fit the bill. We made the time to wander around, check out the neighborhood markets and streets, and saw a couple of historical markers en route. The home is conveniently located between Hastings and Prior street, making bus transit easy too.
