My stay of 25 days at Russ' studio was the best choice I could have made. It is a lovely space with a perfect location. So many great places to shop and eat along Arbutus St and 4th ave and Broadway. The outdoor patio was enjoyed in the mornings and the AC was a BIG plus with this heat. I never would have looked for AC and was lucky Russ and Edgar had the sense to install it. Giant tv screen has netflix, there is a desk to work at and the internet was stable. I prefer a full kitchen, but was able to cook many meals with the options available. The bed was comfortable, not too soft, and the light from the sky lights is a big plus. Do bring a sleeping mask, or expect a 5 am wake up call from mama sunshine. I will book again, especially if friendly and helpful co-hosts are there to load in my luggage!
