This is a great find. Levi and Karoon's place is lovely (I covet the kitchen), very clean, with special touches. Levi and Karoon are friendly. warm and respect privacy. the apt had plenty of towels was very clean and fresh, nicely furnished and comfortable. The neighborhood is pleasant, feels very safe. we walked about 10 minutes to the Sky train, which is easy to negotiate to go into the center of the city. From Burrard street to the house is about 20 minutes by train or taxi costs about US$24. there is a small Asian grocery near the sky train which has some staples, but if you want e.g. half and half stop somewhere along the way.
