Having disembarked from an Alaskan Cruise Ship earlier than anticipated and not having been able to access our emails we arrived earlier than the scheduled booking in time. Fortunately, however, Samantha was at home and we were able to explain the situation. As it happened someone was just checking out and the cleaner had yet to arrive, so rather awkward, but Samantha was very kind and said we could leave our suitcases in the laundry area and come back later on. She explained where a couple of nearby cafes were and also bus routes into Vancouver centre.
The accommodation was as described, clean and comfortable with modern appliances and good laundry. The following day my husband had problems with the TV network (we are used to an Australian setup) but Jason found time to help him out.
We enjoyed our stay, it was nice and quiet and in a leafy suburb. I feel I should mention that my husband and I are in our early 70s and consider ourselves pretty fit, but without a car it was necessary to walk about 3 'blocks' to the bus route (each day twice) which then took about 10/15 mins to town, or walk the whole distance. The location is probably more suited to younger persons - not only for this reason, but the accommodation is situated at the rear of the main house and necessitated going down about 4/5 steps into a narrow passageway, then up the same number of steps, then up a couple more steps into the apartment. Not an easy task with suitcases.
Would recommend as a place to stay, taking into account comments mentioned above together with any supermarket needs were best bought whilst in town.
