Miriam is a fantastic host and the unit is beautiful, clean, and very sunny and bright. It's basically a 2-bedroom + enclosed den that can serve as a third bedroom. Everything you need is in the unit and we didn't really need to get anything outside of groceries and the odd daily sundry.
The unit is on the 2nd floor immediately above street level on a pretty boisterous street with restaurants below, but it's a fun area with lots to do and sights to see. Restaurants, cafés, and pubs are all steps away. Very central location with access to most of the downtown-area sites within a reasonable walking distance. Shopping and the waterfront are only a few minutes walk away. I'd also recommend the board game café across the street if you're into that sort of thing -- great little place with tons of selection.
We brought our medium-sized dog (a Sheltie) along with us and he quite enjoyed his stay. Street access is quick and there are some grassy areas a couple of blocks down Yates that work for pets (always difficult to keep in a downtown environment.) There's no A/C in the unit, but there are large fans provided for every room which worked out well for our family of 5.
The host, Miriam, was personally wonderful with us, very helpful, pleasant, and accommodating. Would highly recommend the unit!
