Reviewing the rental description now, after my stay, I find it totally accurate - it was indeed, a "snug retreat" , very clean and quiet, for my solo trip to Vancouver. The part that made the stay really special (in addition to the house location in a beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood) was all the thoughtful care that Helen, the owner, put into my stay. She really went out of her way to be helpful to me and so I left feeling a very nice personal connection. I also loved having Helen's well behaved dog, Gypsy, there - an added plus to the pleasant stay!
