As a first time visitor to Vancouver I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
The host was incredibly friendly, the check in process was easy and the location proved a perfect launch pad to get to know the city.
Easy ride in on the subway from the airport, quick access to several transportation hubs including an early morning bus that took me right to the base of Grouse Mountain. I feel staying here enabled me to branch off and get a good overall feel for several neighborhoods and after my brief stay my confidence in getting around went from zero to a hundred.
Couldn't have asked for more.
