Dorothy is a nice host and she accommodated our needs. However, I would not recommend this place for more than one person, given how small it is. More important, if you are planning on sightseeing, paying a bit more for a hotel in downtown will get you free shuttles to/from the airport and to the touristic cites, good coffee, and breakfast in bed. A few things to note:
1) You will not fit in the bed if you are taller than 170 cm (5' 7'')
2)There is no air flow in the house. The towels we used the first day were wet for a week
3)The bus from this cabin to downtown passes through one of the most dreadful streets of Vancouver, i.e. East Hastings. We once tried taking the bus back home, and we regretted it immediately (tbh, Dorothy warned us about it the first day.)
4) The Commercial Drive does not offer much. The restaurants are super old and mediocre in quality. I had high expectations from the other reviews, but we couldn't find anything better than coffee+ croissant for breakfast.
That being said, this place could be ideal for an individual seeking a quiet neighborhood surrounded by nature, a couple of good coffee shops, and a good host.
