This is a fantastic place to stay in Vancouver! Mieke's place is located steps from Commercial Drive, a great neighborhood street for food, bars, shopping, etc with many grocery stores located within walking distance. Also located a few blocks away from the SkyTrain, so perfect if you need to get downtown. Checking in was super easy, I was provided the key code in advance and had no issues getting into the unit. It's a basement suite but the ceilings are quite high and there is lots of light coming in from the patio door windows. Very functional and well-stocked kitchen for basic cooking. Bathroom was very clean, with toiletries stocked, and lots of extra towels. There is some noise from upstairs in the mornings (as described in the listing), but I didn't find it to be disturbing to my sleep, as its very quiet at night. Mieke was very quick to respond to my messages, and was very gracious and accommodating when I requested to modify my booking dates. Thanks so much to Mieke and your lovely family!
