I'd recommend future visitors to stay at Espirito's. It's great value and located in Kitsilano -a beautiful residential area- with access to beaches within 10 mns walk and by bus, to UBC gardens/ museum etc.
The bus stop is right in front of the house, so it’s very easy to get Downtown. The house is also close to coffee shops/restaurants and a supermarket.
One thing that could be a small issue for some visitors/ light sleepers: a very noisy street even at night.
Unlike some Airbnbs, the host lives there. She shared her home/ kitchen and her knowledge/ love of Vancouver. There was a friendly atmosphere among the guests staying there last week.
Thank you again Espirito for your warm welcome.
