I had the pleasure of staying in the laneway house for a month and it was comfortable, well-appointed and in a great location for getting to UBC or downtown. The walk to campus is about 5km and most of it can be done on trails through Pacific Spirit Park. There are two bus routes to campus located very close by. There is also a community centre with a small gym and pool nearby and a monthly pass is about $50. Grocery store and pharmacy are an easy walk (just over 1km). I was able to sign up for an EVO car share as well. The few times I needed to drive it was easy to book a car. Being able to make most of my meals, and walk places made it good value. The space is really well planned. One of my kids stayed with me for part of the time and loved having the loft area. Wifi was fast and reliable. Laundry was a bonus! Hosts were friendly and easy to reach, though I didn’t need to connect with them after arrival as everything was in great condition.
