My favorite part about staying at Anne's place was Anne herself and her two cats! Anne is very welcoming and interesting to talk to, and her cats are SO adorable! The house is old and full of quirks, but the room is very comfortable, especially the bed. The free breakfast is a nice gesture even though I did not take advantage of it, and I was able to use the fridge for some of my own food. I wouldn't consider the neighborhood "walkable" but a bus stop (to the skytrain station to get downtown or to the airport) is around the corner and Kits beach is a 50 minute walk away and downhill on the way there.
