Richard's place was great for our 4-night stay in Vancouver! Super detailed instructions were given, which made for an easy check-in, and the studio is the perfect size for 2 people. We slept with the windows open since the temperature was a little higher than normal for this time of year, which meant ambulance or fire truck noise here and there, but that can be expected of any downtown location.
Speaking of location, being right off of Davie in the West End and a couple blocks from the beach was so perfect! We didn't use the bus at all since we were able to walk or bike everywhere we wanted to go.
Highly recommend Richard's place for anyone looking for an affordable stay in Vancouver.
