Edward's unit is in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood with plenty of street parking (often in front of the door), and just two blocks from a main boulevard with plenty of businesses and small restaurants. If you desire higher class shopping and eating, that's less than 10 minutes drive away in the Kerrisdale district. Downtown, the West End, and Stanley Park are not as close, but Vancouver's not that big, so even they are less than 30 minutes away by car (though you might want to take public transit or a rideshare, as parking is very difficult in those areas). The unit has a good shower, a cozy couch, filtered water, and a very comfortable bed. It doesn't have A/C, but the provided fans cooled the unit for us just as well. The only downside to the unit is that it doesn't have a lot of window light (though the internal lighting is good).
Edward was a great host. We were provided with lots of good restaurant recommendations, ideas for things to do, and just good general conversation. Even though we'd never met him before, it was as if we were with a friend. This was one of three different AirBnB places we stayed at during a week in western Canada, and it was definitely the best of the three.
