Helen’s place was a true gem in Concordia / Vernon neighborhood. I had a great time staying at her place - it felt like home. Really appreciate her great hospitality and very responsive to any issue I have.
The cottage was really well built - good insulation, soundproofing, and high quality AC/heater. Good natural light. The kitchen has everything you need. I also really appreciate they added a privacy curtain for the bedroom (bed area?). I felt safer sleeping at night without worrying I might be seen from the windows... :)
The neighborhood is really safe. It might get a bit dark during the night. Carrying a flash light / headlight can be helpful. You can easily walk to Alberta or KISS Coffee - I highly recommend their Mocha and breakfast sandwich.
It was a really lovely stay - would love stay in their place again in the future!
