Tamara's place was super convenient for tourists like ourselves whom didn't really know our way around Vancouver. The evening we stayed with them we went for dinner at the revolving restaurant downtown, and it was a very short cab ride. There were extra towels, coffee & tea, and cute little touches to make the place feel more hom(ey) than a hotel. In the morning Tamara left out some breakfast for us in her beautiful sunroom which was so thoughtful! :)
