I stayed at the Foster Flat during a working vacation and combined it with a quick visit with family. Working in the flat was great -- it's very quiet, with lots of space to work and plenty of windows to let in light and inspiration. Easy walk to Foster St. beach. Communicating with Karin was a breeze. I used to live in this neighborhood, and I was happy to see that the Middle East Bakery and Grocery on Foster is still open -- recommended as a great spot to buy tasty hand pies.
