A great place to stay when in Vancouver. The studio itself is a basement unit, completely independent to the rest of the house. Great layout for the four of us (2 adults, 2 kids (10 year old and 10 months old) as the bed is one side of the unit in a small recess, providing good isolation from the rest of the studio. Some essentials were already in the studio (fruits, filtered water, coffee, tea,sugar), which was nice. Samantha had been in touch before our arrival and suggested some great choices of local shops (Wilder Snail, yum). One note of caution if you are looking for a bottle of wine for dinner, I couldn't find a place to buy one in the neighbourhood.
The surrounding area is residential and very quiet. a great community feeling to it. a 10 min walk to Chinatown, 20 to Gastown and downtown, and a $10 cab ride back from downtown if needed.
Overall a great experience, We will be back. Thanks for your hospitality.
