I was very fortunate to be able to stay at Jenn's place in my first trip to Vancouver. I stayed for 45 days and still wanted to stay longer which didn't happen due to following bookings. Instead, I recommend this place and hope you find the same while staying at her cozy home! ; )
Jenn is a nice, caring host with good heart and healthy lifestyle. Her space is on the ground floor of a wooden house of her parents. Sharing spaces are clean and well maintained by the host, especially her kitchen is very lovely!
The room is well sized for one/two person(s) with a double bed, small closet, drawer, desk, window and a wide flat screen TV with numerous channels.
Local shops including liquor store, cafes, restaurants, and food market(no-frills) are available in walking distance (10-15 min). Transportation to downtown or any other sides of Vancouver was quite convenient by bus, once you get used to track bus schedule(a few steps to a stop for #33 to King Edward/ 29th Ave. skytrains & 10min walk to a stop for #22). A trip to downtown takes 30-ish minutes.
The only downside for me was that I felt chilly at night even after sunny weather in July, which could be a good side for others. My tip for you is to take sleepers/ sleep socks with you, if you easily get cold feet.
