This location was perfect for our stay. We had a rental car and the parking was free and it was alway easy to find a spot. The street is quiet. The restaurants around this area on Main cannot be beat. I had been to East is East before and had to go again (it’s right around the corner!). Anh & Chi is a new favourite. There is no shortage of cafes, grocery stores, restaurants (lots of plant-based options!), vintage shops & record stores, and pet stores around this area! We didn’t need to go to downtown Vancouver as our stay was mostly for some out-of-city outdoor activities, but I’d imagine if you wanted to get downtown, it’s quick and easy by bus if you don’t have a car. It was nice to have laundry because we did a lot of hiking, biking and kayaking and needed to wash our stuff. The washing machine was quite loud so I’d recommend running it when you aren’t there or at least in the day time. The stove in the living room came in handy to dry our shoes that were wet from hiking. There can be a bit of thumping from upstairs as the kids are playing or doing their thing, but it never bothered us. Ainsley was quick to communicate anything and it was so easy to check in.
