Holy shit! After stressing out like mad we found a place to live. We rented a huge, beautiful one bedroom loft downtown from a very nice ESL teacher who's moving back to Nanaimo. It's an award winning heritage loft conversion at the L'atalier. The building is over 100 years old, the floors are hardwood (maple) laid down in 1908 and the celings are 16 feet high! A very creative work/live space and winner of 1995 Silver Georgie Award for excellence in design. The L'Atelier offers original timbers, glass blocks & maple flooring in the hallways & fabulous common roof top deck with 2 barbecues and 360 view. Un-freaking believable this place! The photo at left is just the hallway outside the suite. Wait until you see photos of the suite itself once we move in. We couldn't have asked for anything more suitable for us. Thanks again for all the good vibes you folks have been sending us.
What a place!
