Vasily was a great host, who provided a clean place in a great spot, and was very accommodating. I traveled alone and felt comletely safe walking at night from the Kensington market and over towards the cn tower area. All of the sites are a lovely 20min walk away, plus the waterfront trail was located across the street.
My only complaint is that the room was very bright in the morning so it was hard to sleep in, and the bed was very firm. However, everything else that you would need for a stay was provided: shower supplies, cooking supplies, laundry, netflix, a nice balcony, etc.
