I really enjoyed my stay at Lori's. It's a cool district, with great restaurants on Commercial Drive, and beautiful spring gardens to enjoy - including the option of sitting out in Lori's lovely back garden. I was needing to get Downtown most days and I used the Mobi bike scheme - very easy 25 minute ride on bike lanes all the way. The basement flat was comfortable and clean, with nice extras like real coffee, microwave popcorn and toiletries.
