Michael and Alina are wonderful hosts! The place looks exactly like the photos. It does take a little while to get downtown by bus (~40 mins on average), but it was doable, especially given how nice the apartment was. Michael and Alina were home to welcome us when we arrived, even though it was 11 at night. Michael was very helpful and happy to answer all of our questions and offer advice for sightseeing in Vancouver. They were kind, flexible, and responsive. Highly recommend!
