My stay in Laule and Aziz's place was very good! They are very friendly and hospitable people! The location is amazing - you can easily get around downtown, walk to Stanley park and waterfront. There are several supermarkets not far. The apartment itself has everything you might need.
The room itself is tiny. As I am not that big myself - I was okay, but you should keep that in mind. Except for that, amazing stay - definitely recommend!
