The space at Colin and Iris's place is very spacious and well appointed with lofty high ceilings, a full kitchen and laundry and big bath tub. I particularly appreciate dyeing greeted in person on arrival, despite my train being delayed. As they mention in their description, sound certainly does travel throughout the house. There is quite a bit of noise from upstairs and people coming and going through the front door. That said if you're a heavy sleeper you'll have no problems at all! I walked into the city quite easily from the house and found some good cafes nearby for coffee and breakfast. Vancouver is a lovely city!
