Helen is truly one of the best airbnb hosts I've met, and her home was so lovely and welcoming. I was in Vancouver for a conference, and at the end of every long day I truly looked forward to returning to my bedroom for a shower and a restful sleep in my very comfortable bed. Helen even anticipated things that I never thought about, including usb charging ports, a bathrobe, and something to clip up wet things to dry, while also offering every amenity a guest needs to have a good night's rest. Her breakfasts were so good, and so, so appreciated. That was something that really made me feel like a honored guest. Everything was spotless, and Gypsy was the perfect companion too! The location is perfect if you do not want to live right downtown and want to be somewhere quieter and safe, but is close enough that commuting was not a problem. I cannot recommend staying with Helen enough, and I will definitely want to come back when I visit Vancouver again.
