We had a great experience! To get to the apartment upon arrival we took the Canada Line from the airport to Oakridge Station. There’s a bus station next to the Oakridge Station that will drop you off less than 5 minutes from their house but we opted to walk (10-15 minutes). There’s another bus station on Main Street that can be used to travel into downtown Vancouver. Or you can take the Canada line from Oakridge Station into downtown Vancouver. Both are direct lines, no connections and were very convenient. The neighborhood is beautiful (Queen Elizabeth Park is right around the corner) and our apartment was great. We loved our private keypad-secured entrance. The description says that the downstairs living room is shared but we did not see our hosts down there at all and had the whole downstairs to ourselves. They were kind enough to let us use the washer and dryer downstairs. We saw Mario once in the backyard. He was very friendly and gave us directions and recommendations. We said hello/goodbye to Catherine as we were departing the last day. They were both very nice and their dog Brownie is adorable! Our hosts were respectful of our privacy but very quick to respond to questions via messaging and provide advice when asked. If you’re looking for a place where you don’t feel like you’re living on top of your hosts, this place is perfect.
Highly recommended for location, atmosphere, and the hosts. And Brownie :-)
