This house is in a quiet neighbourhood with not much going on, but is conveniently located about a 7 minute walk to 29th Ave station. It takes about 20 min by Sky Train to get to the city centre. Note that there is no A/C (as outlined in the listing). This usually isn't an issue in Vancouver, but if you're coming during the summer I would definitely check the weather for the days you're travelling to see if there's a heat wave, as it got quite hot in our room at night despite having a brand new tower fan. Also noted under the house policies is a potential for noise. There is currently construction a few doors down and people are up and moving and making noise around the house by early morning. If you are planning on sleeping in, this would not be the place to do so. Lastly, there may be up to 3 other parties staying upstairs with you, making it more like a hostel.
