Our stay at Sam's place was outstanding. My husband and I have a daughter in Vancouver who we visit about twice a year and stayed at a few Airbnb places, and Sam's is top of our list. The location can not be beat. Close to grocery, drug store, bakery, coffee shops, lunch/dinner options. We typically rent a car but didn't need one this time. But if you do rent a car, Sam has a private laneway parking spot which is a huge bonus.
Sam's place is very comfortable and bright (many full length windows) - loved the two patios. We had my daughter and her boyfriend over for dinner one night and it was wonderful to sit and talk around the table and very comfortable in the living area too.
