Being in a new city can be scary but if anyone needs a safe neighbourhood and company then this is the place to stay! Highly recommended.
Cab from Granville took ~$15 which is very cheap compared to most cities. Ask Aihua for estimates. She is very pleasant.
Close to the buses and train station and more closer to a variety of restaurants in the area.
I suggest Bon’s off Broadway for $2.95 breakfast and Boteco Brazil for $20 brunch (worth the value), both on Nainamo St. Respect the place like your own home and you will have a good time. Met a few new people and made lasting friendship :)
