It's worth noting that someone else lives in the house. It's a basement apartment and he was no trouble at all, but it wasn't mentioned in the ad. For me this wouldn't have been a problem at all, but my mother is agoraphobic and wasn't comfortable being in the house with someone else, so we wouldn't have booked it if we'd known. We booked for a month but ended up leaving after a week, which was a shame, and expensive to have to book two places.
The house was lovely - updated and well stocked. The houses immediately around it are nice but the rest of East Vancouver neighborhood we found to be sketchy, and that was another reason why we relocated. But it might have just not been for us, we're a bit more comfortable in a higher end environment.
But house and hosts were great, and the upper bedroom has a lovely mountain view! :)
