Checking-in/out was a breeze, and we really liked the private entrance from the back of the house with electronic keypad, which made getting in and out no fuss. There was a cute vegetable garden in the backyard leading up to the entryway.
The room itself was clean and quiet, true to the description in the posting. We appreciated the extra cups and single-cup coffee maker as well as the clean towels and plenty of soap. There were plenty of electric outlets, which were all very conveniently placed. I was worried the room would be quite dark on the first floor, but there was plenty of windows and sunlight (blackout blinds helped in the mornings). While it was 28C on one of the days, the room remained relatively cool even with just a fan and no air-conditioning.
It's also has a great location - only a 7 minute walk to the Marine Drive SkyTrain station, which also has food, cinema, and grocery! For those who like running outdoors, there's a shaded trail at a nearby golf course. Overall, just what we needed for a quick weekend getaway in Vancouver!
