Yvette is a very nice and welcoming host, and I enjoyed my stay at her place very much and would not hesitate to visit again. The place is easy to reach from downtown Vancouver, but the trip might take 30-40 minutes, depending on the time of the day. I happened to visit during The Fair at the Pacific National Exhibition, which is just across the street. If you visit Vancouver for The Fair you will hardly find a more conveniently located accomodation. Yvette mentions in the description that her house is next to a relatively busy street, which is true, however, with the window closed my room was very quiet and most nights I slept with my window open and had no problems with the street noise, either. I can recommend staying at Yvette's.
