Great location: it's the first time we'd stayed in a Vancouver neighborhood rather than downtown. What a great experience -- good food, interesting shops, live music, friendly people, easy access to the metro and parking. The local restaurant guide and check in information provided by the host, was all very helpful.
The basement apartment has been thoughtfully renovated and styled. Everything is fresh and clean. The beds were very comfortable, nice linens and towels. We didn't cook, but the kitchen is well appointed, and has plenty of things you'd need: oil, seasonings, utensils, etc... The neighborhood is bustling, but the apartment is quiet. We slept well and didn't hear anything from the home above.
The host was very responsive and replied to messages immediately. The apartment door has an access code, which meant we never actually met our hosts. We enjoyed the privacy and were confident that if we had needed anything, it would have been addressed immediately.
Conclusion: Ten out of Ten.
