This was an excellent place to stay in Vancouver. We opted to rent a car, but if you are up for some walking or biking this place might work well for the public transit user. I appreciated having a full kitchen, though we didn't use it much given the amazing food options in Vancouver. The big fridge was nice for leftovers! The bed was a bit firm for my taste, but I still slept like a rock every night. We didn't interact much with the hosts, but they were very pleasant each time we did.
