We rented for a week and our bedroom was on the first floor with a nice shared bathroom next to it. There is also a family room and kitchen next to it. New home and everything was sparklingly clean. Like any room rental you will see the owners around.
The pros: new home, sparkling clean, very close to bus and Skytrain, there is a great Vietnamese restaurant a block away, Tim Hortons down by the train. Good access to downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, English Beach, Yaletown, etc. by train or bus. Best to take a cab to home from airport, about $40 Can. The room is a very good value in a safe nieghborhood.
The cons: The only reason I am knocking one star off is I thought the linens, pillows, blankets, towels could of been upgraded. They just seemed older and not to the level of the new home. Also be aware, if there are conversations in the first floor kitchen/family room you can hear them in your bedroom, however they ended early (before 8:30pm) and at night the home is dead quiet.
Overall if you are looking for a good value sleeping location, this is a great rental and we enjoyed out time there.
