Xiao An has a *beautiful* home in Vancouver. My friend and I had a very comfortable stay in the Third Bedroom. It's a little room but it has a very comfortable bed, a BIG closet, a balcony, and a FULL en suite (including shower with a tub). More than enough space for a base camp, and just a beautiful and luxurious house. And you get a key to your bedroom door which always helps me feel extra secure.
There are 2 other guest rooms in the upstairs with the third bedroom, but we never saw the other guests.
It's also a great location. It is about a 35 minute transit trip into downtown, but it's an easy one-bus (#7) trip, available just at the end of the street and the bus is frequent, and worth it for a reasonably priced but luxuriously appointed homebase in Vancouver.
There's a Tim Hortons, Shoppers, and Starbucks (among other places) within a 10 minute walk as well as great restaurants in the Kitsilano area (including a great Thai place I highly recommend) a bit of a further walk away (20-25 min).
We didn't, but you can also use amenities in the kitchen other than the stove and oven.
OH and the bathroom towels were magically soft and I was about as sad to leave them as I was Vancouver.
