Ying Ying is a fantastic host, really helpful and friendly, she even provided her own guide of things to do in Vancouver and afar and great restaurant recommendations. It was always easy to get in touch with Ying Ying and she really helped to make my stay a lovely one.

I stayed at her 1 bedroom apartment in downtown Vancouver. It's an excellent location, very convenient to the Canada line (straight to the airport in less than 30 min) and all the buses you would need from Granville St. The views from the apartment are beautiful, especially with mountains in the background and the pretty lit up nightscape. It's very comfortable for 2 people to stay and all the facilities were perfect for a long stay away from home with a great kitchen and breakfast bar, efficient washer and dryer, a separate den/study and 4/F gym open til late every day. I didn't get a chance to try out the outdoor pool or hot tub though!

Would definitely recommend Ying Ying and her downtown Vancouver condo. If you do stay there, there's a delicious and very decently priced sushi restaurant called Yamato (just downstairs, across the road from Starbucks) - must try it out!
