Mackie's house was a perfect central location for our first trip to Vancouver. We had our car so all of the major neighborhoods were a short drive away and I liked that Mackie's street was quiet, tree lined, and residential while being only a few blocks away from hip Commercial Drive. Parking was easy and it was quiet at night.
We were out exploring most of the time and really just slept and showered at the house. We did not use the common areas or kitchen so I don't have anything to say about those. The bathroom was shared with one other bedroom upstairs but we never saw those guests. Mackie's house was clean, affordable, and a great location. Staying there allowed us to spend more money on delicious food!!
I thought the bed was very comfortable. It was too short for my boyfriend who is 6'1" so it was definitely less comfortable for him. But otherwise, we were happy with the stay!
