The apartment is very cozy and had everything we needed. Including a full equipped kitchen! It was super clean too! The bed was very comfy and big! The area is very nice to live in and very close to Commercial Drive with all the nice little shops and cafes. Its not too far from downtown. We walked for an hour one way or took the bus/skytrain or bike. We were there for a long weekend including a public holiday, so our hosts were mostly home (when we were) and would live above. We found the house not very soundproof (might be way how houses are build). If you like listen to piano tunes this might not bother you too much. :-)
