This place was very central to Hillcrest and located in a very friendly neighbourhood. It was very easy to walk, bike or bus to wherever we went (the zoo, downtown, gaslamp). It also felt very safe. It's a basement suite so there is no view or outdoor space to sit, and you can hear the neighbours upstairs (not overly loud, but typical basement suite noise). Jeff was very good at responding and answering any questions we had, and the apt is set up well. The place is all one open room, so there isn't much privacy for more than a couple or a small family. Overall good value for what you're paying for.
