Overall, we were very pleased with our stay here. The unit has recently been completely renovated, and is very spic and span. It is not the entire house, but a unit in the house. It is ideally located, a 10 minute or so walk from the King Edward subway / Canada Line Station. The neighborhood was generally quiet and felt very safe. There were blooming flowers everywhere. We particularly liked the early hours of the nearby JJ Bean Coffee Roasters, and the neighborhood coffee shop The Mighty Oak (corner of W 18th and Columbia St). The host was very responsive to our texted/messaged questions. The only comments we have are small, and will likely be addressed as the final touches of the new interior and applicances are in place: Ice-maker in refrigerator was not working, gas fireplace was not working (which would have been cheerful in the cool nights), the upstairs bedroom windows only open about an inch for fresh air - I guess for security? But this feels a bit claustrophobic, and if there was a fire, how would you escape the upstairs by a window? This is a safety concern. The Christmas Tree should be put away by this time of year. Extra pillows and/or thicker pillows would be good to have on hand. Front gate was cumbersome to close and open, the latch is not easy to operate.We could have reached out to the host during our visit, but none of these things was critical, or an emergency. We had a busy schedule and wanted to focus on Vancouver!
