The apartment is situated in the very trendy Trinity-Bellwoods/queen west area close to many shops, bars and restaurants and only a 20 minute walk to the heart of downtown. Plenty of public transportation options about a half block from the flat. It's a private room in a shared living space that Tamara and Kurt keep very clean. I stayed on a work trip for 5 weeks and it was very convenient. While you do share a kitchen and bathroom, there wasn't much crossing paths as most of the other guests were also there for work/university and very busy. It was convenient and very affordable for my purposes, and would absolutely stay again. While the hosts do not live on location, communication was very quick and efficient, and I had no problems at all. Thanks for the great stay! See you next time.
