My mother and I stayed at Elena and Claudio's quaint private studio for three days and it was absolutely perfect! It's the perfect location to walk to the waterfront and only a short can ride to everything else in Vancouver including downtown, Granville Island and Stanley Park. With a full kitchen, bath, living space and bedroom, it's much better than a hotel and feels very comfy. They were very helpful in finding places to eat around their home and ways to get around. This was our first Airbnb experience and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Vancouver!
