Ivy's place offers great value. It's spacious and comfortable enough for 2 couples and the unit itself is in a nice house in a great neighborhood. The unit has tons of windows so it's bright even though it's a basement. It is furnished very nicely and the kitchen space is large and functional! It's a very short walk to the Sky Train which gives access to the airport and downtown areas - we definitely utilized this! We walked to the mall about a mile away for groceries and dinner. Beyond that, there's not a whole lot in the immediate neighborhood that's walkable, but taxis in the area are very affordable.
Ivy herself was very accommodating, allowing us to drop our luggage before check in (it was raining and we had nowhere to go with all of our stuff). She also allowed us to check in early, once the cleaning was finished.
My only small complaints would be that the kitchen really did not have enough dishes for 4 people and only 2 tea cups, and there was no coffee maker. Additionally, as this is a basement unit, you do hear a fair amount of noise coming from the main home, however this did not really bother us too much. Just something to note if you're a sensitive sleeper -- bring earplugs.
Overall, this was a great place for our group to stay and we're very happy with our choice!
