My husband, dog and I stayed at Jean-Paul and Susan's place and loved it! The location was wonderful - walking distance to all of the restaurants and shops on Commercial Drive, as well as several breweries.
The unit itself was very roomy and clean. They also have a wonderful yard/garden that our pup enjoyed exploring - as well as a large open field a couple blocks away.
Jean-Paul also recommended several places and I think we tried most of them and loved them all! We are training for a half marathon and he suggested we run in Stanley Park along the seawall and that was beautiful - highly recommend even for a stroll. He was also very responsive via messaging and in-person.
Note: not related to Airbnb, but a general Vancouver observation - we didn't realize that there was no rideshare (Lyft or Uber), which was a bit of a surprise. But we were able to use Car2Go (although you do need to be signed up in advance) and the Blacktop Checker Taxis.
