From my point of view, the location is excellent as it is within easy walking distance of people I wanted to visit. The area is mixed low-rise residential and commercial is an easy bus ride to downtown Vancouver. I did not meet the host but communication with her by text was timely and easy. She gave me her phone number, but I never had to use it. The apartment was clean and comfortable and the Wi-Fi worked. The lack of a fridge or hot plate may make it unsuitable for long stays with a family, but for a single person for a few days, it was perfect. Thank you Myriam!
