My husband and I had a lovely stay at the Nelson house, room 5, while we were in Vancouver for a few days. We didn't take advantage of the outdoor seating area that came with the room much, or any of the common areas but we both slept well on the comfy bed and in quiet surroundings. The bathroom, as mentioned in the listing is outside of the bedroom, so while no other guests use it since they have ensuite bathrooms, it is still out in the communal hallway. Both the front door and bedroom door have keypad locks and check in was a breeze. I only met Liduo on my second day, and she was very sweet. I would recommend this place as it is a good value, and there's a great coffee shop around the block (Greenhorn), but it is a bit of a walk to downtown (we love walking and exploring new cities so this wasn't a problem for us). Ramen Danbo is also close by, and very good!!
