We had a lovely time at Nichole and Gilles apartment. We walked to the fantastic shoreline. We walked into town easily. We dined frequently at the local Bubby's restaurant in the nearby Cook Street Village. We also took the public bus to and from Buchart Gardens (a must-see). We didn't get to the BC Museum (an easy walk) because the weather was too nice to be indoors. We also enjoyed a dinner in their nice back yard. So, overall, a great location, great hosts (great muffins).
