Ryan was a great host. He provided a wealth of information to the suite, the neighborhood, and Vancouver in his house manual. He made sure we knew where to park and get into the building/suite, all without being intrusive. He even left us orange juice, almond milk, fruits and bagels! It was a welcome treat from hiking in the mountains.

The suite itself is tasteful, spacious and well-equipped. There was an induction cooktop, which we used to make breakfast in the mornings. There was also a laundry room on the same floor. It was coin-operated, but Ryan left change for us to do a load of wash and dry. How considerate!

The only downside of the suite is that it faces a busy thoroughfare, which means lots of traffic noise if you open the window. However, that didn't bother us and we slept well every night.

Mount Pleasant is a hip neighborhood, with lots of cool restaurants. It's a great base from which to explore Vancouver!
