Overall a very pleasant experience staying at Maria's place. Even though the unit is in the same building as the host, there is almost zero privacy issues. Maria keeps in touch via text and she is very responsive. The unit itself is clean and well furnished. If I had to pick on something, it would be that it can be that noise from upstairs can be a bit of a concern at times if you are a light sleeper. But otherwise, I was surprised with the number of amenities that were provided in the unit. The location is also very nice and convenient. I'm not sure about public transport, but if you have a car, this location feels very central to the Greater Vancouver area and safe. Maria was also very accommodating and was quick to resolve any questions we had. If you are looking for a tension free stay with good hosts, this is the place.
