I rented a flat on the Sunshine Coast, in Vancouver, for a month as a place to relax and generally have a good time. The apartment was the top half of a house and was pretty fantastic looking, the views were spectacular and the location was handy for the shops and restaurants. The local fish restaurant, Smittys Oyster Bar, had a special surf 'n' turf which I'll never forget, amazing steak and lobster.

Unfortunately we had the landlady from hell, who wouldn't leave us alone and complained about the amount of electricity we were using (in the middle of winter?)

Anyway, it was a great location but we were very glad to leave at the end of the month.
