I stayed here for 12 nights in April. My husband joined me for the first 6 nights & then my daughter who is at UBC joined me for the last part of my stay. Overall we really enjoyed our stay & I would recommend staying here. Michel is very friendly, and would check in with us periodically to make sure that we were comfortable & not needing anything.
The suite is the basement walkout of the host's home so just to be aware that as it is an older house so you can hear the owners walking around upstairs. It didn't really bother us and I think they were careful to be respectful of us. The layout of the suite is very open & spacious. There are lots of windows so even on a rainy day it felt quite bright. The entrance is very private, off a terrace just for the apartment. The king size bed was very comfortable, the shower large & the bathtub deep & extremely comfortable. There was lots of hot water and the linens & towels were nice quality. The wireless internet connection was fast. It was also great to have a washing machine & dryer especially for a long stay. The Kitslano neighborhood is very attractive & quiet but easy walking to both the water or restaurants, grocery shopping etc. , and not a far drive or bus from downtown. Parking was easy to find on the street. It is also a fantastic area for running or biking.
As we were there for a long stay we found the kitchen was missing a few items & the mini refrigerator a bit on the small side. Before leaving we made suggestions to Michel of missing items and he was very receptive. Also if you are very tall (over 6 feet) the ceiling beams are quite low.
Our overall experience was great and I'd highly recommend staying here.
