Glen's place is just as advertised. It's spacious, lovely and clean, well laid out and provided us with a peaceful oasis to recharge during our stay in Vancouver. The neighbourhood is quiet and the bed is very comfortable. Seating in the living room is also very comfortable, as well as stylish...not always a combo that goes together! The desk workspace is useful as well. It was wonderful to have laundry facilities (including laundry detergent) in the unit, as we had already been travelling for over a week. The kitchen has all the modern conveniences (full fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, kettle and Keurig coffee maker), plus Glen thoughtfully provided extras like coffee pods and tea bags, and sugar which he was happy to replenish as needed. Not only are all the appliances we have at home available, but they are in good condition, which is not always the case in our experience. Another big plus is the tv and streaming services available to guests. Honestly, it truly was like being in your home away from home.
The neighbourhood is a block away from a busy restaurant and commercial street, so it's easy to buy any basic supplies or to go to a restaurant if you wish. The area is very walkable. We did have a rental car for longer day trips, but within the immediate area it wasn't necessary to use the car at all. If you don't have a vehicle it's easy to access and use public transit nearby.
Glen provides guests with very thorough and useful information about the unit, local transit, local restaurants and shopping nearby. He responds quickly to any requests or questions you may have and is easy to talk to. We encountered some unexpected complications during our stay in the city, and Glen went over and above to help us sort them out. He is a very thoughtful and helpful host and we hope to stay at his place again if/when we return to Vancouver.
