The place was very comfortable; the bathroom, in particular, was pretty awesome. The condo is in the basement of the host's house, but it does not feel like a basement at all; there's a lot of light, and it's very quiet at night.
I arrived there with a bicycle and virtually nothing else. I was worried about the 7 or 8 km distance between the unit and downtown, but, happily, there is a bicycle path two blocks from the front door that leads directly to the bridge that takes you to the inner harbour. Riding very casually, it's 15-20 minutes by bike.
The hosts were very kind and helpful. I didn't get to know them very well, because I was out and about the whole time, but they seemed like a great family.
