We stayed at Mackie's place for 10 days. During this time, he and Lisa were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They are genuinely interested in their guests and manage the place very professionally.
Our room was well furnished and very clean. The hosts ensured that we had every comfort. The immediate surroundings are calm with a local feel. Steps away is vibrant commercial drive, with great places to eat and drink, while downtown is only 20 minutes away on the bus.
Overall our experience here was excellent, having the opportunity to explore an area of Vancouver that tourist don't normally see but definitely should. The true asset of the place though is the people managing it. They were a true delight to interact with and we look forward to staying here again.
