Me and my husband used to live in Vancouver for over 20 years. Recently we had to move away, but visited family for 2 weeks.
l booked Elmer's place mostly because of close proximity to the airport. A short walk to Marine Dr. Skytrain and it is very covenient to just hop on Skytrain and see the town on public transit. Also, at Marine Dr. Skytrain stn there are also stores like Shoppers, T&T, Starbucks, Tim Hortons and much more...great location.
But when we came to our accomodation, we vere so glad- not only a very clean room with private bathroom, big TV, but also the whole kitchen with modern appliances for our use. Laundry? - no problem, downstairs, and included in the pay. The place is very nicely designed and furnished, and very clean, as well. The owner- a very sweet lady was always available, helpful and very kind. We even got a gift for Christmas, and another for New Year's Eve and had a pleasure to taste special food made by her for New Year.
Whenever we visit Vancouver-we will stay at Elmer's place, for sure.
