Stayed at Mackie's for almost a week while exploring Vancouver. The location was great for us, lots of good restaurants nearby and very easy to find street parking. It's not in the center of Vancouver but public transportation is right there and it's a very pretty neighborhood. The room itself is situated on the second floor with other rooms in the house being rented out, so lots of people coming and going. Overall, it's a good, basic room and bathroom for the price. It didn't feel completely private but you have your own bathroom. We didn't use the kitchen stuff at all besides the mini fridge (it's a small space to be cooking in). Overall, we enjoyed our stay there and thought it was a good value for our money but maybe next time would have preferred a little more privacy and a bigger room.
