Russ' condo was in a great location (20 min walk to Granville Island) and was very clean. His co-hosts were very helpful with parking and finding the place as we arrived. Definitely communicate with the co-hosts to get parking off the alley behind the place (parking on street is limited to non-rush-hours. The beds were comfortable and the place was quiet. Russ was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. It was very minimally appointed tho, just enough kitchen and bathroom amenities to get by (loads of empty cupboards). Bring a bar of soap for bathroom and be prepared to buy groceries/condiments to supplement kitchen. Couldn't find a coffee pot. Overall tho, it was a good place to stay in a good location in Vancouver.
