One tip for your Hillhurst move
Downtown is one LRT stop or a five-minute drive, so the move itself is short; the bottleneck is the tower elevator, and with the Kensington towers running one service elevator each, book the earliest slot the board offers so we are done before afternoon retail traffic fills Kensington Road.
