Doug and Herb made us feel right at home! The apartment is beautiful and was perfect for our week long stay - it was truly as if we were staying at our own place. We were greeted by Doug and Herb when we arrived and it was so nice to see a smiling face and hear "welcome!" from someone who was excited to see us (especially after such a horrible travel experience to get there)! Doug and Herb were incredibly friendly and always ready with a restaurant recommendation and some helpful tips about the neighborhood and downtown. They were even willing to come pick me up at the airport after two days of travel which decreased my stress level tremendously. We packed in a lot of activities during our quick 3 day visit to Vancouver, but It was lovely chatting with them at night in their beautiful backyard when we came home from exploring the city. It was only about a 10 minute walk (if that) to the train that connects to downtown Vancouver and other parts of the city. The rental itself was beautiful. The apartment was bright, cheery, and clean. The studio apartment was perfect for the two of us (and we didn't feel as if we were staying in a basement or sub-level apartment - that's how much natural light there was). The kitchen was stocked with coffee and tea and was perfect for having a quick breakfast in the morning or enjoying a meal in at night. The bed was super comfortable, and clean sheets (and towels) were ready for us when we arrived! Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we couldn't have asked for anything better. We highly recommend staying with Doug and Herb - you will not regret it!
