We had a great stay at Deai's place in Vancouver. The laneway house is very small, so if it's a long term stay, it could be challenging for 4 people. It would be better for 2 people. It was very clean and had basic amenities. Shower is a tub shower. Two bathrooms, but the upstairs one is very small. Beds are comfortable and there were a few basic dishes for cooking. There is no oven or dishwasher, but there is a washer/dryer. Deai allowed us to check in early, which we really appreciated.
The neighbourhood is very quiet and feels very safe. It's close to the university which was really helpful for us as we were there for convocation. We could also walk to some places to eat and we went to a small movie theater (Dunbar Theatre) which was only about 15 minutes walk. Also, it's very close to W Broadway and Kitsilano where there are a lot of really good restaurants. It is quite far from the city centre and Stanley Park, but we were able to drive there in about 30 minutes.
