Nia is a friendly, helpful host who offers an immaculately clean, nicely appointed suite in her basement. The suite has a TV, cable, wifi, board games, and a thoughtful selection of maps, travel books, and helpful hints about the neighbourhood. The listing is exactly as pictured and described. The neighbourhood of East Van is quiet and convenient to the rest of the city, with street parking for those with cars. One of the previous guests even included info on bus routes in his note in the guest book. I highly recommend it, and hope to stay there again soon!
