Cathy is very kind and is the kind of person who will give of her time to make you feel welcome. She is a little hard to understand but her kindness makes up for it. The room is just like the pictures. We felt comfortable there, though if the weather gets hot, it could be a problem as this building does not have A/C. We left the windows open and Cathy provided a fan that helped a ton. The private bath is awkward to take showers in, but there is a second bathroom that you can use for a shower as well. All in all, the location is great. The pharmacy across the street has a great pharmacist (super helpful), which came in handy when you are in a foreign country. We walked everywhere downtown, even to Stanley Park (which is far on the other side). And there is plenty of food places within one block, or two, to keep nearly anyone happy.
