We had a great first trip to Vancouver staying at Kai's place! The place was as advertised, very clean, well-equipped, and we were lucky to have a room with a balcony/terrace. It's in a central location a short walk from some very nice parts of town. I had thought this might be a private room in a large shared house with lots of other guests but there were just two other rooms in the house we stayed in (we didn't hear or encounter any other guests) and it had quite a homey feel. We ate out our entire stay but we could have cooked ourselves and eaten in the kitchen/dining room if we'd wanted, it seemed to have everything you'd need. Kai was very communicative and made checking in and out very easy. We would definitely return in future.
