A comfortable place to stay with outstanding access to the Alberta arts district, never mind the corner of Prescott and 14th Place (one of my new favorite corners on the entire planet). The tiny bakery is not to be missed, IMO, the Ville Velo. Say "Hi" to Jeffrey for me. I miss the old boy and his baking already. The winde/beer shop and Capitola Coffee are nothing to sneer at either.
This is about as nice as a basement apartment is going to get. A fair bit of light, but still rather private, quiet, and well-appointed. If we're staying in the hood again, this is the first place I'll check.
