The place was clean, cute, comfortable. We liked the large bedrooms & comfortable living areas. Everything was super clean. We walked into the house with the lights on and the Christmas tree lit. That was very welcoming. The bath towels were large & luxurious. Very cute neighborhood, in the Little Italy district. He was very responsive: when we asked about the snow in Vancouver and about parking in the permit section of the street. The only weaknesses were one electrical outlet in the kitchen (accessed by perching the tea kettle or the toaster oven on a stool to use it) & an unbelievably tiny bathroom (I kept missing the half-size sink as I brushed my teeth or washed my face).
