Mike's place is a great home base for new students like myself or travelers looking to check out vancouver! The room is spacious and the house is located <10 minutes away from bus stops that go to UBC, downtown, you name it. Also note that there are usually other airbnb guests in other rooms in the house, but that was never an issue for me. Be prepared to take public transportation from here because it's not walking distance to most of the major places, but the grocery store is easily walkable and the room is very reasonably priced for what you get.
