This is a very comfortable retreat in a great location—less than one block away from Commercial Drive with lots of shops and restaurants. Despite its proximity to a busy area, the unit is very quiet. If you’re there in the warm weather, there’s a great outdoor area to enjoy. I spent all day in a workshop each day that I was there, so I didn’t take advantage of that, but it looked lovely.
The photos on Doug and Herb’s site are very accurate. There is not a built-in stove, but I found all I needed to make meals in the unit—microwave, hot plate, toaster over, electric kettle, and small fridge. The unit is well supplied with towels.
Check in and check out were easy—there’s a coded lock on the door. And Doug and Herb were immediately available by phone or text the couple of times that I needed to consult with them.
