I'm a long term visitor for summers in Vancouver, have stayed in everything from college student hangouts to basement/garden view mansions and this is hands down the best arrangement I've experienced. Not because of amenities or location etc but because he's organized your stay around what you need to be comfortable. The house was on a block slated for developers but I hope this review stays in airbnb records so that if he does this again at a new place and you're reading this, you know you can trust it will be a good experience.
