Samantha and Jason made sure we had a very warm welcome: we arrived after midnight, but they left the lights on and they got us the newpaper that we asked for. The place looks great and the owners have tons of info available: we tried several of their tips for breakfast/lunch/diner, which were all great. Location: some of the streets between downtown Vancouver and the appartment are quite dodgy, so should be avoided. Taking the bus is a good option.
