I travel to Vancouver, BC annually for medical purposes. At times, my husband travels with me, but usually I travel alone. This was not only my first time using the airbnb site, but also my first time staying at private accommodations that were not directly related to my medical appointments. I stayed in a private room with a Queen Size bed with a memory foam mattress and private ensuite full bathroom at the top of the stairs to the left. There was a small fridge inside the room, and ample storage space including a fair-size closet, dresser, and night tables. There was also ample storage in the bathroom. All the doors to the bedrooms had their own deadbolts and each person had their own key to their room so you could lock all your belongings in your room when you left. There was also access to free WiFi. Although it is not listed on the site, there is the option to be picked up from the airport for $30. If taking transit, it is about a 53 minute trip, but only a 15 minute drive. This can be arranged in advance by contacting Nadika directly with your flight information. The house is located in the prestigious neighbourhood of Killarney in South-East Vancouver, only 15 minutes away from Burnaby and the ever popular shopping Mecca of Metropolis at Metrotown. It is also very close to transit. The #26 bus is just around the corner and will take you to Joyce Station for the Sky train. You can also walk a brief 6 minutes to either the #49 or the #19 bus for easy access to Victoria Drive and Kingsway Drive. If you like Asian food there is a plethora of Japanese, and other Asian restaurants within walking distance or it's only a 15 minute bus ride to the Neighbours Pizza and Pasta House as on the show "You Gotta Eat Here" on the food network. It is also not far from Safeway, London Drugs and is only 15 minutes via transit to Value Village and to Greater Vancouver Baptist Church. It is very centrally located, and was relatively easy to get around. If you are planning on doing a lot of shopping downtown and are taking transit, it is probably about 30-45 minutes via transit. The House is in a beautiful, quiet and safe neighbourhood, and the entrance is around the back of the house. Shanthi (Nadika's mom) was a pleasure and joy to be with. We had wonderful conversations and she was a more than gracious hostess. I had the privilege of meeting Nadika and her sister as well. They are a lovely family and will go out of their way to help you in any way possible. Shanthi was attentive in providing extra blankets if needed, making recommendations for places to eat and shop. They were also very respectful of your privacy. The place was beautiful, clean and accurately portrayed in the photos on airbnb. I thoroughly enjoyed my...
