Karen is a wonderful host, couldn't ask for a more welcoming and thoughtful person to deal with - went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a fantastic experience. The apartment itself was absolutely spotless, Karen had thought of so many things we hadn't thought about ourselves but were really helpful. Excellent appliances in the kitchen made cooking etc a pleasure, beautiful area to be in. Green and leafy, quiet but within easy distance of downtown Vancouver with some very good shops within walking distance, would recommend 'Strongs' a quality small supermarket that stocks excellent produce - meat/fish/veg&fruit as well as a Deli and bakery. Some nice places to order food from too locally. Karen is on hand at all times to help with advice and communications with her in general were impeccable. We'd stay here again in a heart beat and can honestly say we will, should we be lucky enough to get back to Vancouver. Karen is in all a class act - 5 stars and then some!
