The space is just as advertised, in a finished basement of a nice home (with separate entrance) in a quiet, residential area. We could walk to some restaurants and grocery and drug stores and we used public transit one day to go to Granville Island (easy 2 buses). By car, everything is easily accessible; downtown in 15 minutes. The beds were very comfortable and the large television provides a ton of channels as well as the ability to sign in to your Netflix or Hulu accounts. Very clean, newer space with unique furniture. Joelly was easy to communicate with and very kind to provide our 5-year old with some toys and books to use during our stay as well as coffee for us and tips on local eateries.
It is true that there is noise from above, mostly in the morning as the family prepares for the day. This was fine for us since our child is an early riser and we wanted to start our days early. We would definitely book again on a future trip up north!
