Eliza's apartment, although basement level, is well laid out with a kitchen & small sitting area in the front, a bedroom (good closet space & comfortable queen size bed) & bathroom in the back. Adequate room for two adults, her place was also very clean with clear instructions for lamps, TV, washer/dryer, etc.
If you are taking public transportation (Vancouver has a very good transit system), be aware that getting to most of the desirable sightseeing destinations (Granville Island, Stanley Park, Museum of Vancouver, Science museum) took at least 40 min of walking & taking a bus or train. We enjoyed some of the restaurants in the neighborhood ( Andamiro Korean Bistro, just down Kingsway St, is very good!), but almost all of them (& the supermarkets) are Asian-fare & many don't offer wine and/or beer.
Finally, Eliza & her family live upstairs and have a security system which "rang" (like a phone) every time we opened one of our windows or the front door.....we also heard this when they opened or closed their front door! Not a big deal because we were gone most of the day and also, no one came home late at night....but it did feel a bit like our comings & goings were being monitored! It may also be an indication of the neighborhood's safety, although we felt comfortable enough there.
