The Avalon apartment is on a quiet block very near to a great part of Kitsilano where you will find great food and shopping. The neighborhood is beautiful, as is the apartment, which is reached via a private door. The apartment itself was really nicely furnished, had a great kitchen with all of the utensils you would need and slept our family of four easily. Julia was quite responsive and all of the information in the apartment made us feel very welcome. A great stay.
