For me this was the perfect place. It has two stories and both are above ground (this wasn't entirely clear to me from the pictures) in a separate building. I had an extended work trip to Vancouver and staid there for more than two months. Everything was perfect. I just had to buy some food on the day of arriving, but the next day I went to work and didn't have to bother with anything else (yes, due to the extended stay, I had to clean the place myself, but that's relatively easy - for shorter stays this is taken care of and you don't need to bother). There are many small details which makes living there easier. I had some visitor and it's comfortable for two persons as well. The place is close to bus Number 4 which takes you everywhere every 10-15 min and walking distance (10-15min) to East Hastings where there are many shops and restaurants. The place is quiet and you have a lot of privacy (both things which I value a lot). Star is very attentive and helped me with some small things whenever needed.
