Linda is the perfect host. She wants to help you in any way she can, is super friendly and nice and responded very quickly and thoroughly to any message I sent her.
The photos of the condo are accurate but it's better than it looks. The view is really spectacular. It's a corner penthouse with a wonderful of the city from any window and wondrous view of English Bay from the large balcony. If you want a full 360 view, just step across the hall (not even a 10-foot walk) to see the bridges over False Creek.
Even amenities I don't normally use on vacation enticed me, such a the UHD 4K television with both cable and Netflix. There's even an AppleTV in the bedroom where I could cast my own content from my iPhone or iPad. After an exhaustive day of exploring Vancouver it was like coming home and being able to relax in a very comfortable, completely equipped residence.
It's a nice quiet neighborhood a 5-minute walk from a main thoroughfare filled with interesting restaurants and convenient shops. After trying breakfast out once we spent the rest of our vacation enjoying fresh produce from nearby markets having a more convenient first meal with a better view than any breakfast restaurant we could find.
Should we find ourselves heading back to Vancouver in the future, if Linda's place is available I don't plan on looking any further. As a person who shops around quite a bit before making a decision about where to go just for lunch, that's a big endorsement.
