Nia's place was excellent - even better than the photographs suggest. It is ideal for a couple visiting Vancouver. The space is really large and much brighter and open than most basement apartments. The facilities were very good, with lots of useful information available. The local area was safe and pleasant, with lots of choice of eateries on Fraser and Main St. The service at the local car rental (Enterprise) was excellent and the prices were much cheaper than the airport rentals. Public transport to Downtown was easy and there is a decent supermarket a few blocks away. Nia is a first class host - she went out of her way to be helpful to us, for which we were very grateful. All communication with her was straightforward and she responded quickly. I would not hesitate in recommending Nia's place to anyone.
