We had a great stay at Marina's place. The place is extremely spacious with 2 bedrooms with large beds and closets, seating area, dining area and kitchen. The bed in the main bedroom was especially comfortable. Clean, well kept, as pictured. There is a Safeway and drug store a 5 min walk away. We used public transportation to get around which was convenient - the 15 min walk to Joyce skytrain station is uphill, recommend taking the 26 bus there instead (make sure to check the timetables). The neighborhood was very quiet and felt safe. You do hear footsteps from the main house but it wasn't too bothersome, and Marina was considerate about making too much noise and was readily available if we needed something. We were able to get access to the laundry room which was very helpful. If you are looking for a spacious, affordable place to stay during your visit to Vancouver and are ok with traveling a little bit to get to the center, highly recommend staying at Marina's place!
