Me and my family stayed in Mark's suite for one month during the summer and we had a great time. We felt that the neighbourhood is very safe. The suite is equipped with everything you need: we cooked, we washed clothes, we washed dishes. Mark is a friendly host and answered promptly with small issues we had. He also gave us good tips of places to go and things to do in the city. He also invited us to drink a beer! The suite is not close to the Downtown, but you can get there using public transportation in 35/40 minutes (including walking) if you use at least a bus (either line 33 or 25) and the skytrain subway. We advice to use the Citymapper app because it shows in real time the hour the bus is going to arrive at the bus stop and you can use it to choose which bus stop you have to go (and is better than Google Maps). There are at least three markets and grocery stores nearby and some bars and restaurants in the Main street. I could say more about the suite and the neighbourhood, but its better if you live it. In resume, I think this is a good place to stay if you want to save some money and plan to stay in the city for more than a week.
