Tara was a great host for our stay in Vancouver. Home was very tidy. There are other rooms in the house so you will hea other people from time to time. This didn't affect us sleeping or waking up.
Room is very small but that's all you need when you're out and about the city.
You can walk to the subway to get a compass pass or tickets which took approximately 10minutes or take the bus across the street which requires exact change.
