House a bit out of the way if you are using public transport. Bus service within walking distance but infrequent when I needed it (rainy weekday night, weekend morning). Using a cab worth convenience. Room very neatly kept and completely private. The family is very quiet and unobtrusive. That said, prompt and helpful communication. There's a little foyer; a fridge and kettle; solid windows to deflect noise of 1st Ave traffic. Comfy good value for Vancouver.
