Jacqueline was a great host--friendly, with attention to detail. Was welcomed with local fruits and muffin, as well as all essentials (tea, coffee, natural soap, plenty of towels, etc.) She also gave recommendations for things to do in the local Kitsilano area, including the path along the waterfront and a local bakery. Finally, the flat itself and her home is very cute. Charming attic with antiques and skylights, and kitschy details outside--yet with modern conveniences, including washer/dryer. Definitely great value in the Vancouver area!
