I didn’t get a chance to meet Kody, but he was prompt and helpful with his replies. His co-host Jocelyn, is lovely and helpful as well.
The location is close to shops and some restaurants and bars, and close to the bus stop going straight to downtown. The share bikes across the road were a huge plus, but they aren’t so useful if it’s raining a lot. The area itself was really lovely and quiet, and centrally located within Vancouver, so you aren’t too far from anything.
The house comes with all the essentials, and it was nice having Netflix on the smart-tv for the rainy days (I stayed during winter). The central heating was a big plus as it was bitter outside, but nice and cosy at home. The main bed is very firm and large, the fold out is smaller with a lot more give. It was nice to have a choice as I was travelling alone, definitely wasn’t too big for a single traveller, but would have been fine sharing it as well.
I had a fantastic time staying here, and I would definitely recommend it! Hopefully I’ll have a chance to stay here again some day!
