We absolutely loved our stay at this handsome suite in a restored home in the charming Strathcona neighborhood of Vancouver. You enter through a wooden gate onto a lovely and beautifully landscaped courtyard. The apartment is very clean, attractive, comfortable, and well organized. Edana gave us excellent suggestions for nearby restaurants in walking distance on Union Street, where we were fascinated by the old homes, interesting paint-color combinations, and fabulous front-yard gardens. We especially enjoyed the little Portuguese market only 1 block away. It's a great place to enjoy coffee and pastries on their sidewalk sitting area, especially if you miss your pets, as you just might be greeted by a friendly neighborhood cat or dog. Edana was also very helpful in suggesting driving routes to reach other destinations in the Vancouver area. Highly recommend this "cozy retreat!"
