I rented this place for two friends who were coming in from out of town. Geraldine and her family were very welcoming and were there when we arrived. My friends told me Geraldine and her family checked in on them but at the same time were very respectful of their privacy so they felt at home and comfortable.
This place has an amazing location! It is steps away from a really cool area on West 4th with a popular organic eatery, a grocery store, a unique bookstore and other interesting shops. Head a few steps in the other direction and you are at an amazing vista with steps down to the ocean and then just a couple blocks to the west, through streets lined with beautiful old character homes, is Jericho Park/beach.
This is a quiet area away from the craziness of downtown (but just one short bus ride away from it) so if you are looking for these things on your next visit to Vancouver, check this place out.
