Our stay was damn near perfect. Chris was a great host. He got back to us fast when we had some questions and proved to be a genuinely lovely guy when we met him. He had put a load of love and hard work into making the place feel homely and welcoming. It seemed steeped in his character. The artwork (especially the monkeys) gave it character and personally I liked all of it and loved some of it! There was lots of useful information and checking in and out was as easy as can be. The kitchen had everything you could want and there were some simple foods and condiments in the fridge, which was an unexpected help. The kitchen wasn't all that large but that wasn't a problem, especially seeing as how many good, cheap (certainly if you're from the UK) restaurants there are locally. The suite is on the top floor of an old house and you can feel the history in the place. The views from the windows only add to that character. It's ideally located, being situated just off of Cambie, near the Skytrain, a short walk from downtown and near some large supermarkets. I would definitely, without a seconds hesitation, stay here again!
