What a sweet stay in Canada :) We were there a LONG time!! almost two weeks, and we felt very much at home. I truly don't have any complaints as all my questions or concerns were responded to super quick. I guess the only thing I can say is if you have mobility issues this would be a challenging stay for you as there are a lot of stairs. Also, this host lives there so there isn't a "ton" of storage space in some areas - it wasn't too much of an issue for me with my many big dresses and 2 weeks of items, but I did have to rearrange a bit (with permission from the sweet host, or course). The parking situation is also really pretty good, honestly. You just have to work it out with the neighbors. I think calling and paying in person would be the way to go, as it can get a bit confusing when someone else parks there, etc. But, it is totally fine. The location is good - close to a great market! And the gay area is around the corner - with fun bars, etc. I was at a conference so really not home much so didn't explore a lot - but it seems like there are plenty of restaurants, etc. Enjoy! We would stay there again. Oh, and the balcony is terrific!
