One tip for your Mission move
The Lilac Festival fills 4 Street on a Sunday in early June and the 2013 flood forced a 72-hour evacuation of the riverside blocks, so avoid those dates and check the building's parkade rules; for walk-ups, ask the landlord to hold the visitor stall by the door since street parking is gone by 8 a.m.
