Nice place to stay with great value-for-money
This place is located a little off from the city center and can be reached with the skytrain and the bus. Commercial drive (aka The Drive) is nearby, a neighborhood where you can find excellent food from all around the world, regular street festivals, lots of music, bars, a great diversity of local shops and much more. It is a vibrant place with great cultural diversity that can be explored. A grocery store that is open 24/7 is also conveniently located just two hundred meters away.
Do not expect a hotel as you might know it - the place is closer to a room you rent from a private person. That makes for a close personal contact with the host, who is always helpful and gives very good advice on the interesting places to explore. I have really enjoyed talking to him.
One of the drawbacks though is the limited service because of the lack of a reception. On short notice, I arrived very late due to a cancelled flight and thus could not check-in on the day I paid for. Instead, I had to spend the night elsewhere in the city and come back for check-in the day after in the late morning. That was quite inconvenient and costly for me. Apart from that, I very much enjoyed my stay.
