I stayed at Dave's place for the month of July. It was in a nice walkable neighborhood and conveniently located near good restaurants, parks, public trans and a 10min walk to Emily Carr University. The apartment was the perfect size for me with everything I needed. In July it got a little hot in the afternoon but with the window AC and a couple of fans I could cool it down. Dave and Caitlin were very welcoming, friendly and helpful with any questions I had about getting around town.
