Ruth was in her home office when we came through to the backyard. She showed us the suite, gave us the key and left us alone for the weekend. There were granola bars for snacks and milk for coffee.

The laneway house houses a single car garage, home office and the suite. The suite is like a very compact Ikea showroom! With a double bedroom and a single sofabed, it's the perfect set-up for two girlfriends or a solo traveller. We have a queen bed at home, so used to and prefer a little more room for sleeping. Lots of natural light through the many windows, WiFi included, microwave, toaster oven, kettle, French press, dishwasher. Kerrisdale is a safe and quiet neighbourhood, very walkable. The bus to Downtown is a block away. MacKenzie village with a bakery, café, butcher and a few other quaint shops is within 6 blocks.
