The location is completely unexpected, and usually unattainable, for a stay in Vancouver. It is in the heart of a neighbourhood of beautiful homes, large properties, and horses. It feels so removed from the City itself, that you can't believe that you are truly on the doorstep of everything you need to get to in Vancouver. Access to any other neighbourhood is simple, however, both by car and by transit. It is amazingly dark and quiet here through the night!
The house itself is old, and is seamlessly integrated into the farm to which it is attached. That means a little less "polish", and a little more "rough" than you may expect for the neighbourhood. But if you read Telf's description carefully, it is accurate. There is no reason to be surprised, or disappointed, with where you are if you read carefully.
Two notes: The ceilings are pretty low in the basement. Our 6'2" tall son felt a little too tall for the space. And there are a couple of unexpected ledges in the floor in the bathroom that are nasty to your toes in the dark.
Communication was easy via email, and self-check in was really convenient and appreciated. We would stay here again.
