David's basement was exactly as described and very comfortable. it was very clean and well equipped. We booked it for a visit to our daughter who lives close by in a small apartment. Kitsilano is a lovely area with a wide variety of shops, cafes and restaurants so we didn't venture much further afield. However, it's only a short walk to the beach and downtown is only a short bus ride away.
We will definitely try to book David's apartmentwhen we next visit Vancouver.
