This location is perfect for exploring the city of Vancouver B.C. and its nearby flora. A quick 15-20min drive (depending on traffic) drops you right into the heart of the city OR into the forests of Mt. Seymour. There's a delightful beach literally across the street from the front door of your quite private lodgings. There's even lots of nearby shopping and food and drinks and whatnot close to your location. Considering this is a "basement", you can barely tell; the hosts have done a marvelous job of making this seem like a vacation home. Everything you need for a relaxing getaway and more, as we were pleasantly surprised by the welcome breakfast basket and soothing steam-shower room.
The hosts were pleasant and helpful without being intrusive in any way, and we felt like we had everything we needed and then some.
