De's property is great for someone who wants to be in Burnaby with ease of access to public transportation. It is a short 9 min walk to the Joyce-Collingwood Skytrain station where it's a simple ~15 min ride to downtown Van. Also only a few stops from Metrotown. De added some nice touches to add to the coziness of the stay. Water bottles, some tea & coffee packets, with some small snacks. Self-check in was easy and I would stay here again for the value. The unit is not a standalone unit, but a shared private section of the house with your own entry. You may hear some faint dog barking (not frequent) or voices, but overall it did not bother me.
