Jeff's place provided an ideal home base to our almost two-week stay to BC! If you are looking for a tremendous value, in a tranquil, suburban, tree-lined setting then look no further. The unit is very spacious for a three-member family. The two rooms had very comfortable beds and were super clean and cozy. I definitely took advantage of the treadmill and light dumbbells provided to burn off the excess calories from my shameful Timmie's visit. And for the guys, if you are looking for a good setup for your man-cave, Jeff has a splendid 5.1 with large home projector unit (maybe next time a place to store a motorcycle...no?, well moving on...).
Because we were visiting family, we had meals elsewhere most of the time, but the unit comes with a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, bar sink and accompanying cutlery and glassware for a family of four...so basically everything a hotel room has, Jeff's unit has, but for a better daily rate! And if you do need something please ask, because their responsiveness is on point.
We drove from CA, so there was more than enough street parking and felt very safe. But if you like taking transit, their bus frequencies are crazy, every 10 minutes! I use Transit (app) and works with Translink BC. (I work for the transit agency in San Jose, CA fyi). Because BC city planners really did an excellent job making the area dense by building up, rather than out, transit in BC is hyper efficient, that is why it is envied by North American transit agencies.
The area is walking distance to shops, restaurants, a Safeway and others. A few yards (not metric, so sue me, ha!) away is the Arbutus Greenway, basically a walking and biking path. We had a lovely time walking to the Kerrisdale neighborhood on Christmas Day in 10degF (apologies again!), about 20 blocks one-way.
Value Proposition is high with Jeff's place! We will be back.
