Ilia runs an Airbnb as I've always thought they should be. You'll be staying in his place, with his style and personality stamped all over it. It's exactly as the photos show, so if you like what you see, you'll have a great stay. Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Ilia as he was out of town, but communication and check-in (via a family member) were smooth and simple. The location is great, close to good casual dining options from various cuisines, as well as Tojo's, which while pricey offers some of the best sashimi and sushi I've had outside Japan. Public transport to the rest of Vancouver is likewise quick and simple. Stay here if you can!
