I would have given this location 5 stars, but for one thing. At the end of my 1-week stay, I woke up with insect bites on my arm. I don't know what from, and I worried about bed bugs. I sent the host a private message, (because you don't want to raise the specter of bed bugs without cause), but I never got any kind of response back. I waited two weeks to post this review. Nada. It's not like I was asking for a refund. I just wanted some acknowledgement of what happened to me.
Other than that, you could not ask for a better location in Vancouver. 1 block from public transit and THREE grocery stores. All the kitchen supplies you might need. Fairly quiet. I mostly had a wonderful stay. But if something goes wrong, you shouldn't expect to hear from this host.
