Ruth was a terrific host and she and her husband made the whole experience easy and enjoyable by being incredibly responsive and helpful. The lane way home was just as described and was perfect for the long weekend for my boyfriend and me. We loved the modern design and layout of the home with the bedroom & bathroom on the lower level and the living room & full kitchen on the upper level. The home was stocked with all the basics you would need for your stay--such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, and a washer & dryer. Ruth went the extra mile to make us feel welcome by having fresh fruit, milk, coffee, juice, yogurt, and granola bars available in the kitchen. I would definitely stay with Ruth again if I visit Vancouver, and I would highly recommend that you reach out to her if you're planning a trip!
