We stayed for 3 days at the end of our trip. We were cold and wet and the backyard access can be dark ( You have to turn on the lights from the inside) but coming inside Rich's place was a relief! It was warm and homey and I felt very comfortable. The place has separate access and is big enough for a couple as there were 2 rooms with ample space plus a full size washer&dryer! Ample parking for a standard size car. Very close to everything- places to eat and shop, downtown Vancouver, beach, UBC and trails. There were occasional noise upstairs on appropriate times. Rich is a responsive host.
