Vanessa’s place was really great - it was so close to the beach (good for long walks or runs) and really close to some great bars, restaurants and shops. The longest walks we took to go out to eat were only around 15 mins. There was even Mobi bikes near by so we could cycle into town or down to Granville island, all short cycles, around 10/15 mins. If you’re feeling really brave, you can cycle 20mins into Gastown. It was the perfect area to chill in whilst still being fairly active tourists! The apartment was really clean and it was a lovely space, spotless and tidy. Vanessa was a really nice host too, she was super communicative, really efficient and very helpful, I appreciate all she did for us to make us feel at home. I would 100% recommend Vanessa’s apartment for those stopping by Vancouver - thanks for having us!
