Check-in: very easy - the key is located in a self serve location which is easy to find and use. The location is easy to find and located at the edge of Yaletown. There is a bakery very close and about 5 coffee shops around. The area is full of great restaurants and is steps to the sea wall, steps to a skytrain station, steps to a bike share station. It's a cute house in the center of a busy tower city.
The unit is a basement apartment that gets afternoon sun. There is some outside city noise which you would hear in any city. The space has a desk, fast internet, a TV, couch. I must say the Kitchen is well stocked - you need to be sure you know how to cook with real pans.
The bathroom is well done with a shower stall that is a little small. The laundry area is great and modern. There is a great little guide book that details how to connect to the internet and about the area.
Katie as a host is excellent. She answers questions in almost no-time (no matter if it's a big ask or a small ask). I once made a comment about something and she showed up and had a solution.
I would definitely recommend the place to anyone looking to visit Vancouver.
