Florence’s Room is the second largest guest room on the second floor with a seating area, electric fireplace, a queen size bed, flat screen TV, air conditioning, WIFI and a large window looking out to the back garden. The ensuite bath has a large tub, and a separate custom shower. Florence has antique features but enjoys the comfort of a fridge, coffee maker, and kettle. Feel free to use the outdoor space on the left-hand side of the shared second floor balcony, while being considerate of the guests in the room closest to this area. Seating on the front porch and front garden is also available for guest use. Florence was named after the daughter of Ivy and Thomas Dowling, the creators of this home.

Parker Street is lovely with old Avenue trees and vintage houses reminding me of the Richmond District in San Francisco. The vibe on Commercial Drive is great in the evening and there is a wonderful variety of cuisine on offer including a great Indian, a wonderful oyster and seafood bar, Vietnamese, Ethiopian and vegetarian all in a traditionally Italian neighbourhood with pizza and pasta galore. At 1842 the linen was superb, the pillows so comfy, the bath so welcome, the hosts very friendly, Netflix a bonus, great coffee although the breakfast blend far surpassed the French and Colombian and a great veranda to sit and sip your wine in the evening.
