Stayed at Chris and Jenn's place for a weekend in Van. Great place, very clean and modernized with pretty much everything u need to enjoy your stay. Location is a quiet, residential area, if that is important, this is your place. We enjoyed walking around the area without a lot of traffic, yet just off some main streets. Area seems very safe and we had no trouble in that regard.
Nice patio off the room which is fenced in and fairly private. Lots of needs anticipated like body wash and shampoo in the shower, coffee in the kitchen, etc. Bed is firm and comfortable. Although it was very hot out in the day, the place seemed to stay fairly cool at night - there was a fan but we never used it.
The only issue we found was unfortunately no night lights by the bed so difficult to read at night while in bed. Not a show stopper, but surprising since the rest of needs seem to be well anticipated.
Should also mention that since it is a residential area, no restaurants / coffee shops super close by. The closest coffee we found was about a 15 min walk, not a big deal but it may be for some.
Anyways, would highly recommend this place. We would certainly stay again.
