Sarah's place is well-appointed, and she's added some nice touches with maps pointing out local amenities and everything you'll need to cook for yourself if you want to (varied local dining options are limited). The supplies provided in the bathroom were an unexpected nicety too. There are two options to travel to downtown: half a kilometre downhill to Renfrew SkyTrain, or 1.5 kilometres uphill to 29th Avenue SkyTrain. We used both depending, on what the weather was like, and both are really easy to get to and it doesn't take long for the train to get you into downtown or to other places nearby for days out. Shopping for groceries is about a 15-20 walk away, don't buy too much as if you have no transport you'll have to carry things uphill a short way on your way back! Sarah is super responsive - the heating was a little noisy and a touch too warm for us, so Sarah switched it off immediately we messaged her. You can hear footsteps and general noise from upstairs, but that's to be expected when you are sharing someone's home with them. Overall we had a good stay, and if you're looking for somewhere away from the hubbub of downtown in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood, and you're happy to walk/train/bus your way around if you don't have a car, you won't go far wrong with Sarah's place.
