Right from the beginning Robin was very accommodating and open with communication via email, letting us know how to get into the house is she wasn't going to be home. It turned out that she was home when my boyfriend and friends first arrived and kindly introduced herself, as well as provided us with a nicely organized (and accurate) list of restaurants and things to do within a variety of budgets in the area. The neighborhood was pleasant and quiet for being so close to Main Street in Vancouver with plenty of free parking around which was a benefit for our group as we had 2 vehicles.

Four of us had plenty of room in the upstairs floor of Robin and Jimmy's home. Both bedrooms and the bathroom had plenty of space with comfortable beds and the shower had awesome pressure (for those of you who care). The closets also provided a good amount of storage if you are staying longer than a weekend. They also provided us with ways to make coffee (with a coffee grinder) and tea and were open to sharing their home if we required plates, utensils or needed the kitchen for cooking, etc. The small space at the front of the house was an awesome location for meditation, yoga, reading or board games. There isn't a television so it was nice to not have that distraction in the background while chatting and catching up. They asked that we chatted in the room that is not located above their bedroom after 11 during the week and 12 on weekends which was definitely respectable.

A couple of nights we checked in with them on places to eat and see live music and they have a lot of knowledge or at least references for where to find the information. Even up until our last morning they were accommodating and shared their homemade waffles! In the end, the location, easy walking/bus access around town and their hospitality, as well as the more than reasonable price per night, made our stay in Vancouver amazing and certainly inspiring to make more trips there and use Airbnb more in the future!
