Dawn's place is in the heart of Kitsilano and just a block or so from the beach. It has everything within blocks of what one would hope to find. Restaurants, bars, cafes, shopping, wine stores grocery stores, upscale and economic shops etc etc. The transit service is exceptional and an express bus downtown took 10 or so minutes, comes all of the time, and is a block away. But the only reason we went downtown was for a concert, as you dont need to leave the area if you dont need or want to. The space was warm and inviting. It is just a bedroom, but with an oversized bathroom and soaker tub and shower. It has a King bed, a sitting area for two and a patio outside and lost of cupboard space. It also has an electric fireplace which was very warming very quickly on the cold damp nights from walking on the beach or outside. Dawn was a fabulous conscientious host who met us on arrival and departure. (she lives in the house) She is exceptionally responsive, and responded to our messages within minutes. There is a combination keypad on the door, so entry and exit is very simple. Great stay in a great area.
