Natasha and Paolo were very welcoming and helpful. They let us use some fridge space, offered space in the garage for our rental bikes, and even lent us a spare key to the house after we checked out but left our luggage at their place until leaving Vancouver later that day.
The location is very convenient, the garden is spacious and beautiful, and the room is indeed very convenient with a private bathroom, separate entrance, large storage and fast wi-fi. The wide bed is surrounded by shelves with a great selection of books, so if you have some rainy days to spend in Vancouver, you don't even have to leave the room.
The only little concern is that though sunny, it is practically a basement room, and the windows don't open, so it's not for anyone too sensitive to a slight damp smell.
