Long's apartment was great! It had everything we need for our stay, we couldn't have asked for anything else. The apartment was very clean, had underfloor heating and was in a great neighbourhood. The only problem we had with this apartment was that the boiler did make a bit of noise, but we got used to it by the end of the week so it wasn't too much of a bother for us.
Upon arrival we were greeted by Long's mother who was able to give us the basics of the apartment. Long greeted us at a later date where he gave us places to visit and things to do with round Vancouver which really helped us towards the end of the our visit. Long was also very helpful and assisted us in booking taxis to the airport and was quick to respond to our messages.
If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Vancouver I would definitely recommend Long's apartment!
