Mixed review
This is not an elegant suite by any means! It's a basement suite, comfortable enough for sure, in a great area, and we were busy visiting friends, so it suited us fine but elegant it is not. It's basically a basement suite under a family home, and we could hear the woman upstairs loud and clear one day complaining of pot smell, how "totally unacceptable it is, it must be the guests", etc all the while I am trying to have a much needed nap, failed. Yes, I smoke cannabis for my cancer, it works wonders and gives me quality of life. I only smoke outside, there were no signs or messages saying please smoke off the property (it was pouring rain but I would have complied), so yes it smells. The fact that I could hear her yelling about it made me feel really uncomfortable, like I was intruding. It's not only legal but far better than smelling must, mold and the upstairs cooking food, plus it's Vancouver! The furnace and fridge are also very loud. It was freezing cold our first night, we found a portable heater but had to keep moving it to heat both bedrooms and living room. The second night was warmer. There are only 2 windows in the entire suite as well, only one in the main kitchen/dining/living room area and it's tinted grey so on a typical Vancouver day, it felt dismal down there. If it wasn't for the yelling and the misinformation about elegance, I'd leave a better review. Also a small yappy dog was around but that's a minor issue for me.
