M's unit was comfortable for a 5-night stay for 2 people. She provided the amenities for light cooking if needed, which was helpful when we didn't want to go out to eat. She also provided information for public transportation, eating out, and grocery shopping.
-Check In/Out: Easy with full directions
-Living space: Comfortable, all bath and kitchen items provided. TV and wifi worked well with no issues.
-The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of bedding as needed.
-Communication: Fabulous! M was very quick with responses and had very open communication, which is key in what we look for in a host.
The best part for us was the location, as it was a very close walk to both Commercial Drive and public transportation - the SkyTrain was very convenient!
As M noted, she and her family live in the other part of the house so you will hear footsteps and such above you. If you are a light sleeper who likes to sleep in (like me), you may hear them. If you are looking for a more private place, this may not be the place for you. If you don't mind the noise, it's a great place to stay!
All in all, M was a great host in terms of open communication and quick response. We felt extremely comfortable reaching out to her with any questions and concerns. Go visit Vancouver!!
