Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Casa MacMello is a private studio suite adjacent to our home. It is a short term get away space in the heart of the city. We are a block from Commercial Drive, a vibrant and diverse community, featuring many restaurants, shops, theatres and clubs. Although close to a busy transportation hub, Casa MacMello is situated in a quiet, secluded neighbourhood.
