Tamara (and Sarah)'s place is lovely - loads of space for two people, breakfast for the first couple of days (there was only two of us staying), lovely shower and bathroom - fab.
The location is pretty residential - there's lots of stuff a medium walk or short bus ride away, but expect to be jumping on the SkyTrain a fair bit if you're spending more time downtown as we accidentally found ourselves doing. If you're chilling out rather than being touristy, this place is perfect!
