Staying at Vanessa's place in Vancouver was a great experience and really helped us make the most of our trip.
The Space:
The listing was exactly as described, but we were even more blown away by how gorgeous the space is in person. Not only is the place clean and organized, the interior design is well apportioned and very tasteful. Our favorite parts were the cute breakfast nook, the rooftop patio, and the heated floors in the bathroom(!). The apartment has all of the amenities necessary for any length of stay, and as a bonus, the August integration with AirBNB for the door lock made checking in a super easy process.
Location:
Due to the place's proximity to the Main Street-Science World Skytrain station and multiple bus lines, it was super easy to get around to all of the places we wanted to visit. We were never further than a ~20 min Skytrain/bus ride/walk away from anything within the city, and farther locations such as Capilano are for the most part only one or two transfers away. Additionally, the neighborhood itself is vibrant enough to explore on its own.
Communication:
Vanessa was super communicative and responsive throughout the entire process and made sure that we had all of our questions and needs taken care of, even while she was away on holiday.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend Vanessa's place as an option for anyone looking to explore and enjoy Vancouver and all it has to offer.
