The house is excellent for a family. Very spacious, with 2 bedrooms separated by a bathroom, and separated from the kitchen by pocket doors, it allows everyone to do their own thing. The appliances are great (our 12-year old loved the toaster, I liked the ceramic French press for my coffee), and the rainforest showerhead was so good we bought one like it when we came home.
The location is fabulous - half a block from Trout Lake Park, but close to the Sky Train, a 10- minute walk from the excellent Flourist Bakery/Cafe, and a 20 minute stroll through the park to the grocery stores at Commercial and Broadway. We rented a car but rarely used it, and appreciated the parking at the back. Out front you look onto on a quiet street with shrubs and trees. The houses on either side are close, but we heard no noise from them or from upstairs.
We never met our hosts but they were efficient and friendly, letting us check in 4 hours early, and, after we left, sending us the computer cord our son left behind. We really appreciated that. As my wife said, "Let's stay there next time."
