Laurie welcomed us personally with flowers and a beautifully clean apartment. She bought us some tea and provided milk and lemon and invited us to use her pantry. As we never really cooked we didn't need to but it was nice to know we didn't have to go out and buy everything.
It was convenient to Roncesvalles which has restaurants and shops. One day we got the street car downtown to Union station which took us only 25 enjoyable minutes.
Thank you Laurie.
