As a new visitor to Canada this was an excellent location for transit into the city, to the beach, to UBC, Granville markets, etc; accurate description of property - very, spacious, well looked after, warm environment and the bed was fantastically comfortable, all important when you have come from a hot summer. It was a really great to find milk, jam and eggs in the fridge- esp after long distance haul! The whole food supermarket about a 10-15 minute walk away towards to city was well worth it, and the Sushi bar down near Jericho was fabulous eating. I would have no hesitation recommending this accomodation to people who do not want to be in the thick of a bustling city environment and want to feel safe, and know they have friendly warm and helpful hosts up the stairs.
