Aviva is a super-lovely and gracious host. Appreciated the ease of communication and the detailed house instructions. Her home is perfectly located in a very walkable neighborhood with terrific restaurants and parks nearby. A little dangerously close, perhaps, to Earnest Ice Cream and one of the Breka bakeries (open 24 hours/day!) but what a treat!!! We had plenty of room to spread out on the three levels of living space--and the backyard was great to hang out in during the early morning and evening hours. If you are traveling to Vancouver with your dog, you probably won't find a friendlier or more welcoming place to stay.
