A great experience! Good communication from the hosts, spacious room and facilities, kept very clean and well stocked, all other guests were nice/relatively quiet, and an absolutely perfect location (2 minutes from the SkyTrain station in the heart of East Van). No complaints, would stay here again.

Trish's place is nice. The location is very convenient (15 min to downtown by train). Price is reasonable. I did not have any problems.
