Chengling's laneway house was a good place to stay while my friend and I visited Vancouver. It is not too far of a drive to the city or the airport. It is also very convenient for those without a car as a bus stop was right outside the house. Private parking right in front of the doorstep if you have a car. Though the house is facing a main road, you can hear cars passing by. The house is a little small with not much room to move around, but it works with only 2 people. The bedroom ceilings are quite low, so if you are tall, you might want to put that into consideration. When we visited, the house was a little dry for our liking - maybe consider putting a humidifier in the house.
Overall, the host responded very quickly to our messages which was very much appreciated. If you're looking to stay somewhere that is out of the city, but is not too far from either Richmond or Vancouver, this is the place to stay.
