This was everything I wanted, and more. A really very comfortable and cosy place that I could well imagine living in permanently: your own patio and private entrance, a convenient hallway space (with plenty of tourist info available), a very well-equipped kitchen with a wide variety of appliances (including dishwasher :-) ) and utensils, comfy settee and armchair, TV if you want it, well-stocked bookshelves with a broad variety of reading materials including excellent novels, a nice bathroom with bath/shower and your own washer and dryer, and two well-appointed bedrooms with plenty of shelving and storage space. Also flowers on arrival, plus some choice provisions (excellent bread, fruit, eggs etc) -- a warm welcome! Great communication throughout, both with Shirley who was housesitting when I arrived, and with Lorna & Rob. The neighbourhood is just perfect -- quiet residential lanes lined with glorious trees, but steps away from the hustle and bustle of Broadway with its many restaurants, cafés and shops (to the north), and (to the south) W16th Ave with also some very nice places (like La Glace ice cream; Yuwa Japanese restaurant, Choices grocery store). Very good bus connections, so a good base from which to start exploring what Vancouver and broader area have to offer (my own favourite on this trip was Bowen Island). My one big regret was that due to the coronavirus crisis I had to cut my trip short and couldn't enjoy the place more! But I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
