De's Laneway house is three blocks from Locarno Beach, a short bike ride to UBC, has a sunny roof deck with a great view, a spacious kitchen, and is an exceptional value for the location. We chose De's place for these reasons and are glad we did. We spent a lot of our time "at home" on the deck and enjoyed our beach walks/bike rides. De and Sean are friendly and responsive hosts. We enjoyed our chats with them and they were happy to have us use herbs growing in the garden.
