Monica and her husband are very kind. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask them. They will try to accommodate your need. This place has a good location which is 10 minutes walk from Nanaimo Skytrain. Alternatively, you can take some buses nearby. It takes 20 minutes to reach Downtown Vancouver via Skytrain. It is quite close to the center of Vietnamese Community (Kingsway street) with a Vietnamese supermarket (88), restaurants, a Chinese supermarket (T&T). So if you are Vietnamese, this place is really convenient. If you have a car, the street parking at Monica's house is free.
