The location is so convenient to everything you would need - grocery stores, restaurants, shops - yet the neighbourhood is very quiet. It was very clean and even though does not have a full kitchen, everything you need to prepare a small meal was provided (mini fridge, microwave, cutlery, dishes, etc.). But who stays inside when there is so much to explore! Even though it is part of a house, there was minimal sound from upstairs so not a concern at all. We didn't have any problem finding street parking either. Shay was very quick to reply to any communication. We were visiting family in Kitsilano and the location couldn't have been more convenient. We would definitely recommend Shay's place!
