Richard and Betty's place is attractive and clean. The hosts make an effort to supply basic amenities, such as, coffee/ tea, hand towels, toiletries, linen and cooking utensils, pots and pans. There is a nearby grocery store to get food supplies (within easy walking distance) and the Canadian Superstore was several blocks away (also, within walking distance). It was easy to access transit to various places in Vancouver. The plumbing in the apartment was also very good, with good drainage in the bathrooms and kitchen. With respect to the hardwood floors, I could hear footsteps and indistinct conversations. For me, it was not disruptive. The shared laundry was at times inconvenient because of challenges with coordination. The apartment was also cold on several nights (disclaimer: I am from a tropical country). A huge strength was how readily the hosts responded to messages, which I sent via airBnB and their flexibility and willingness to provide solutions. I interacted mainly with Betty and she was warm and very friendly. Overall, it was a good experience and I am happy that I found this place.
