My partner and I greatly enjoyed staying at Mandi's thoughtfully designed space for several weeks. It was sparkling clean and had everything we needed for our day to day living (cooking, laundry, a space to relax).
The location had its pros and cons. All modes of transportation were easily accessible: bus, skytrain, mobi bikes, even the sea bus if you wanted to venture to North Van. As well, it was a short walk to Chinatown, gastown and downtown (and incredible restaurants in all directions) . For groceries, Costco, T&T were only a block away.
Unfortunately there were also a lot of homeless people in the area or at times right outside the door steps. I felt much more comfortable venturing out at night with my partner.
Also, the unit lacked airflow. Since it was summer time, it got hot and stuffy quick. There was a small freestanding fan but it may not be enough for some people.
All in all, Mandi was a wonderful host and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
