The location of the house is excellent - the nieghbourhood is quiet, seems safe and is nice and green. It's not 'central' Vancouver, but is very close to commercial drive which offers a fantastic variety of food and independent shops and is about 15 mis walk from the skytrain and B-line bus service which took us everywhere we needed to go very easily. The house was under renovation while we stayed - which we were told about - but we could see from the work that had been done in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom, that the standard of the finish will be very nice when completed. Steve was a good communicator, and flexible with letting us leave our bags in the house after check out, as we had a late flight. We had a great time!
