Had a wonderful week-long stay at Vicki's place. She and her friends who were helping her were very quick to the respond and the apartment is quite nice. Very clean, stocked with bathroom and cleaning supplies, spacious and elegant, nice balcony, etc. It's located in a busy area, which comes with both pros and cons, but overwhelmingly we felt it was fairly easy to access all of the areas we wanted to get to. We even had an odd issue with the building while we were there, and the hosts did a great job of handling it with the building immediately and making up for it to us.
Only thing to note is the 2 beds in the bedroom had different mattresses - one was a bit firm and the other quite springy - but overall a minor issue. Would definitely be interested in staying here again if I am back in Vancouver. Thanks Vicki & friends for the great place to stay!
