Communication with Mona was always prompt and easy, and the check-in/out process was simple, as we didn't need to meet in person or at a specific time. My daughter and I enjoyed our stay in the guest suite, which was clean, quiet and had all the basics we needed in a home base. We were able to watch movies on netflix, which was a nice perk when we came home in the evenings. Being in the basement, the temperature was nice and cool after warm days spent adventuring outdoors. Parking on the street in front the house was always available. The location worked well for our outings, as most places we wanted to see were within about a half hour's drive, e.g. downtown, Grouse Mountain, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Granville Island Public Market, Gastown, Stanley Park, the Kitsilano neighborhood, etc. I will definitely recommend this place to friends, and I would stay here in the future if I return to Vancouver. Thank you, Mona, for hosting us!
