Kiley's place was wonderful. It was a traditional, charming, cozy place with 3 floors. There are lots of stairs so take note. Living area and 1/2 bath on first floor, one BR and bath on 2nd, and another BR and bath on 3rd floor. Walking distance to groceries, coffee, etc. 45 minute walk to U. of BC and the Museum of Anthropology, 10 minute drive to a "downtown" area with restaurants, etc. and 20 minute drive to downtown Vancouver. There was a slight pet odor but it did not bother us and not sure if it was due to a pet or just the effect of rain. Lots of windows - note some windows on 3rd floor didn't have curtains so you will get the morning light.
This was our first time in Vancouver and struggled to find a good location just based on maps. I was looking at Surrey, Richmond, etc. I lucked out. Pick this area. The location is really perfect - quiet, close to everything.
Note the home is divided into two. The manager/owner lives on one side and you get the other side. This was not an issue - I never heard them. In fact, it was nice knowing they were there. They also have a dog or two. I am not a fan of pets so this concerned me but it was not a problem. They were very quiet and I hardly noticed them.
All amenities, toiletries, towels, kitchen utensils, are included. You just need to get some basic groceries which are available walking distance away.
