'Twas a charming, homey, and tidy accommodation throughout. Carol-Anne was warm, friendly, and welcoming during my stay. Communication was clear and timely prior to my arrival. The cozy room was well-provisioned, and a big tree in front of the window provided both a sense of privacy and shade to keep cool during the day. The household was also graced by the fellow occupant and eponym, a senior cat with quite a personality. Located on the third floor of a vintage house in the tree-lined Mt. Pleasant neighbourhood, it is situated strategically and conveniently: City Hall is practically next door, City Square shopping centre (Whole Foods, Safeway, etc.) is two blocks away, and the Broadway-City Hall Canada Line SkyTrain station a six minute walk; bus connections are also close by on the major thoroughfares. If willing to walk farther, one can reach Olympic Village, Pacific Central Station, Yaletown, Downtown, Gastown, and even Stanley Park within an hour. I was quite satisfied with this "home base" for exploring Vancouver on a short (2.5 days) but efficient stay, and I recommend both listing and host alike.
