My stay was for five weeks and I had a very good experience: clean apartment, new kitchen, washing machine and dryer available, calm and safe surroundings. Communication with Rich was fast, friendly and easy. The location is excellent: the bus stop is only one minute away and the bus goes directly downtown, taking about 30 minutes. In the other direction, it goes to UBC (10 minutes). There are some shops and restaurants close by including a small (rather pricey) supermarket. If you like nature/walking/running, Jericho beach, Camosun trails (Pacific Spirit Regional Park) and Point Grey Park (+ playgrounds) are all within 10-15 minutes' walk.
