The host is a very friendly and welcoming person and we enjoyed staying at her place. It's quite a distance to downtown, so you have to take the skytrain, which is about 10-15 minutes by foot. Compared to the prices downtown, this was a quite reasonably priced option. The street nearby is very busy and quite annoying at night. The house is quite old and not everything is working, but all the necessary things are there. Our room was very basic and small but clean. The backyard is nice to relax after a busy day exploring the city.
