This is a lovely location - just a few minutes' walk from beautiful bays at Hollydene Park and Arbutus Cove. It is just over a mile from the university, which is great for conferences or other university business. The room was large, beautifully clean, with a tea kettle, nice towels & shampoo etc. The hosts have been thoughtful in setting up the room. Check-in was a little different as Shuai's father was using a translation app to communicate. It didn't seem that anyone in the house spoke English. However, I think students live there during term time, so there may be different occupants at different times of the year. I used the kitchen a little, which was nice and clean. The pool is not in use. Some cigarette smoke wafted up from the back yard, but this might depend on who is living in the house when you visit. Shuai responds promptly and courteously to emails.
