I had a fantastic stay at Brenda's. My stay was about 3 months long, and I had a really smooth and welcoming experience. I had my own private bedroom with private ensuite bathroom, and could use the living room space and kitchen as well.
I spent a lot of my time outside exploring Vancouver or at work, but spent a lot of days working from home too. Her desk and chair were good enough for me to work comfortably for 8 hour days.
The bed was also very comfortable, there is a TV on the wall which was very nice to just lie in bed and watch some TV. You can also keep the balcony door open to let some fresh air in. There is no air conditioning, but she provides fans and honestly it never got too hot anyway.
I love the Kits area, very quiet and felt very safe. The place is just a minute walk to the Kits beach park, which was great to watch sunsets from often. I'm very glad I lived in Kits instead of downtown, as I already spent a lot of time downtown for work and because my friends lived in downtown, so this was a nice way for me to spend time in Kits as well and to come home to a quiet peaceful neighbourhood. Kits is absolutely beautiful, lots to do around the neighbourhood and you can always go to the beach!
Brenda herself was an amazing hostess. She is so sweet and caring, we had some nice conversations, sometimes she shared some food like a Thai dish she made, some cherries, etc, which I thought was very sweet of her. She is a great person to live with. Her two cats were also very great.
The place was very clean and looked very nice. When I first got there, the room was all neat and tidy, the bathroom was fully clean. I felt at home from day 1.
I had no complaints, my stay was wonderful and I'd definitely recommend her place to others.
