I stayed at Ardene's place for a few nights and had a very comfortable stay. The unit is the bottom floor of a house in a quiet neighborhood about a 10 minute walk to Commercial Drive. If you have a car, that'd be ideal, but it's easy enough to get around town on the bus as well (there's one stop at the end of the block that takes you downtown). The apartment is spacious and perfect for one or two people, well equipped with everything you'd need for your stay (I didn't use the kitchen, but it looked pretty well stocked). Note that the ceilings are pretty low, so if you're around 6 feet or taller, you may not be able to stand up straight without hitting your head or feeling close to doing so. Otherwise, had a great stay and this is great value in Vancouver!
