We had a lovely few days at Michel's apartment. It is as described, the whole basement level of the house, with private entrance and outside terrace. The apartment is clean and well presented and has everything you need after a long journey. The location is excellent, a few minutes walk to both the sea front and also Kitsilano's excellent restaurants. Downtown Vancouver is a 5-10min drive or direct bus from the end of the street. Would highly recommend, and would not hesitate in returning.
