We spent 3 nights at Karen's at the end of our Vancouver trip. The room was big, with a comfortable bed and good amenities. Karen's parents checked us in and were around throughout our stay. They even let us leave our bags post check out as we had a late flight. There are other guests staying long term but the house is big and everyone gets on with their own things, so it never feels busy or cramped. There is some noise from the children but this is minimal and on the whole we didn't hear them much at all! Overall a good base and great accommodation.
