Robert's place was perfect for our trip to Vancouver, and the location couldn't have been better. The efficiency style apartment is on the back side and a floor below the area in which Robert and his family live, so you can hear footsteps above, but it didn't bother us at all. It's very clean and had everything we needed for our 6 day stay. The only thing that my husband and I found a little difficult was the parking situation. We weren't aware that part of the street requires a permit and ended up getting a $60 parking ticket. If you drive, make sure you really understand where parking is allowed and not. Other than that, it was fantastic!
