We had a great stay of 5 days at Star’s place. The guesthouse was immaculate and modern. Everything was as described. Communication was excellent and Star was very accomodating. The bus is very close, but local shops are a reasonable flat walk of several blocks. Plenty of food and groceries available there. The area is quiet with no local traffic or neighbourly noise. You are not in downtown so local bus (or taxi) is necessary ... all part of the experience of Vancouver! I recommend Star’s place!
