The neighborhood is quite nice. When I arrived at the front door it seemed welcoming, but the gate is not the easiest to open. Once I rang the door bell, one of the hosts arrived and let me in. They are very accommodating with the arrival date. I had a late arrival time at night and they were happy to accept my request despite the hour.
The host was also very helpful. When we chatted a bit about what I was doing in Vancouver, he provided information on where to go for food and how to use the city buses and transit systems.
The room I reserved is nice. It's not extravagant, but more than met my needs. The bed was clean, fresh and comfortable. Overall my experience was very positive.
