This place is absolutely AMAZING! As this was my first Airbnb experience, I was unsure of what to expect but when I arrived with my friend and 7 year old daughter all of my worries disappeared. Both Lori and Michal were very communicative and easily approachable to ask any questions we had. They even set up an extra sleeping space for my daughter so we could all have our own beds. Also, from being a smaller city, I was a little worried about good vs. bad areas in a big place like Vancouver, but felt very safe in this area. We often arrived after dark after our adventures during the day, and I felt safe walking back the few blocks from the bus stop.
We used transit everywhere, and it was very easy to access from the house. There's a bus stop just a block away that will take you straight downtown, or if you walk a few blocks to Broadway, you can get right on the 99 Express to get to the Canada Line Skytrain. Oh and did I mention there's a Starbucks a few blocks away too??!! (Made my mornings). Super close to tons of restaurants, or if you want to stay in and cook, there are local markets and a Safeway to buy everything you need to do that in the brand new kitchen.
My only complaint (if I had to make one) would be that the mattress was not soft enough for me but I like really soft beds so obviously is just a personal problem.
I absolutely love visiting this city and can't wait to come back! Hopefully this place is available when I do.
Thanks so much Michal and Lori!
