The property is located in a lovely, quiet and safe neighborhood, and the hosts (Tatiana & Michael) are absolutely delightful. The room we stayed in was spacious and clean, the mattress and bed pillows were comfortable and supportive, and having a microwave in the room was a terrific extra touch. There's a mini-mall within a few blocks of the house (the Save A Lot supermarket and Blender's coffee shop were especially appreciated), a pharmacy, Church's Chicken restaurant and assorted other establishments are also on the premises. Downtown Vancouver is easily reachable in about 30 minutes by car (rental or Uber), and public transportation via bus and/or SkyTran is straightforward. If using the latter, best value is to purchase a single or multi-day pass (we did single at $11.25 ea.) from the local pharmacy. Buses were clean and drivers were patient and helpful in getting our bearings. Visit Steveston Village and the local Fish Market if you have time in Richmond, fun and relaxing while a nice change of pace from crowded, busy downtown Vancouver. Having said all that, the best part of choosing this place is the hosts. They treated my wife and I as family or close friends, even made us breakfast one day, and provided helpful tips regarding public transportation options and local attractions. Highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again should the occasion arise!
