We stayed at Michael + Emily’s for three nights. It is a great home base for exploring Vancouver! You’re near Commercial Drive which has lots of shops, cafes, and markets. The place is also within walking distance of a bus stop that goes downtown. The metro is a further walk, but my husband and I mainly used the bus and Uber. If you plan to Uber or have a car, it’s great. If you plan to solely use public transport it will take an average of 20-30 mins to get to the downtown area. The place is clean and thoughtfully decorated. Feels comfy and cozy! The kitchen is well stocked in the event you want to cook or store food. Emily is extremely responsive and will often get back to you within minutes - we needed more toiletries and she got it asap. Be mindful this is an older home so you will hear some noise from upstairs, so it may not be ideal if you’re very sensitive to sound or are a very light sleeper. It didn’t bother us, though. would love to stay here, again!
