We loved staying at Elana and Claudio's place. Located in a residential area, the neighbourhood feels safe and is walkable (about 10 minutes) to Chinatown, where there is great food and a few nice cafes.
What I loved most about this place is the little touches that they have put into this little studio that has everything - from a comfortable bed to a little kitchenette where you can cook anything. The place is also tastefully done up, with recycled wood and little notes to remind you how to take care of their place. There is coffee, tea and granola too! And not forgetting a book of tips of places to go and eat! Truly superhosts!
The garden outside was a nice place to just laze on a nice sunny day.
I didn't get a chance to meet Elana and Claudio but communicating with them was always easy, and knowing they are just nearby is comforting. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Vancouver!
