The kitchen had all the tools we needed to make meals, the bed was comfortable and the house is nicely decorated inside and out, with beautiful gardens outside. True, if you are over six feet, you might feel claustrophobic with the low ceilings, but my six foot son didn’t hit his head at all. If you are comfortable using public transit or you have a car, this is a great place to rest after exploring downtown Vancouver. Laundry facilities are clean and convenient (just outside the apartment) and Scott and Lydia loaned us Compass cards during our stay, which saved us a few dollars. Just about six blocks to Renfrew Station to use the Skytrain, plus there are bus stops even closer. There are a few good restaurants for take-out in the neighborhood and we felt very safe. Our hosts seemed to think of everything, from shampoo and soap to microwave popcorn and granola bars to tea bags and a kettle. If there were a dishwasher, I would have been more likely to cook during our stay. The TV worked great, as did the shower, and it’s hard to imagine how our stay could have been better!
