>> Transportation:
>>
>> The address is 2949 KITCHENER ST., located half a block east of Renfrew
>> and a few blocks north of 1st Ave. It is the laneway house around back. You
>> can access it either through the gate to the left of the main house, or
>> through the alley half a block north of Kitchener St. If coming from the
>> front--it's the house in the backyard. Can't miss it. From the back, it is
>> the only laneway house on that block, so it'll be pretty easy to spot given
>> it's second floor balcony. It's a grey stone building, and there's a little
>> garden on the side that you walk through to get to our door.
>>
>> The nearest bus route is the 16 Arbutus/29th Avenue Station. If taking
>> the bus east/south bound, which you can catch all along Granville downtown
>> or Hastings street, get off at the "Kitchener St" stop, cross Renfrew st.,
>> and follow directions as listed above. If taking the bus north/west bound
>> (which you can catch at either the 29th Avenue or Renfrew skytrain
>> stations), get off at Grant St., continue walking north about one block,
>> then turn right onto Kitchener and follow directions as above. You can also
>> take the 14 or 135 to Hastings and Renfrew and walk the rest of the way,
>> which takes about 15-20 min, or walk from Commercial Drive, which is a bit
>> longer.
>>
>> If driving, it's best to use street parking on Kitchener.
>>
>> Accessibility info:
>>
>> The house is NOT wheelchair accessible, sadly. The entrances involve a
>> combination of stone tiles and grass, are quite narrow, there is a flight
>> of stairs inside up to the 2nd floor living space, and the bathroom has no
>> space/grab bars. If this is at all an issue for you, please let me know, as
>> I'd be totally happy to look into finding another space. There is a railing
>> for the stairs. There are 14 of them in total.
>>
>> There is an indoor/outdoor cat, lots of plants (nothing super
>> pollen-ey--we have allergies), some dust and cat hair, but we try to stay
>> on top of it and it's quite clean in here. I smoke cigarettes, but only
>> outside on the balcony with the door and window closed.
>>
>> There are some scented products around, none of which will be used within
>> 24 hours of the event, and all of which will be stored under the bathroom
>> sink--which is downstairs and relatively contained away from the living
>> space. All cleaning is done with baking soda and vinegar, we use unscented
>> laundry detergent, no scented candles or air fresheners of any kind,
>> unscented cat litter. There is unscented soap by the kitchen and bathroom
>> sink.
>>
>> Any other accessibility concerns, requests for more detailed info, advice
>> for what we can do to make things more accessible, and notes that this
>> space totally doesn't work for you and we need to figure something else out
>> are all welcome and encouraged. Call/text or email Sydney--604.812.1304,
>> srneuman at gmail.com.
