We so enjoyed staying here - very comfy! And even though our son moved from Burnaby to Commercial Drive; the location was fine. (One thing: as short people, we could not reach items in the cabinets. Step stool?)  Thanks again.

What a brilliant little gem this beautiful place is! Perfect location to be away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but very easy and quick to get into town. This apartment is perfect! Well furnished and set-up for guests to be self-reliant and make your own meals, or easy to head out for dinner! Michelle and Steve have been so accommodating and very helpful with hints and tips. Thank you both so much. We will definitely be telling friends about this place and will definitely be back.
Thanks again
