Jay's place was just as I expected and more! This was the perfect "home away from home" with excellent value. The two bedrooms upstairs were perfect for me and my family. The downstairs provided a great living space and the kitchen had everything that we needed. We also loved the neighborhood but we are biased to East Van :) Lots of coffee shops are a short walk away on Hastings, and downtown is easily accessible by transit, bike, or driving (including car shares). We will definitely stay at Jay's again if the need arises.
