Helen was a fantastic host. This was our first Airbnb experience and it couldn't have been better. Helen was very responsive and left us thoughtful touches for our stay (including some local craft beer)! The house is modern yet very cozy. The ample windows allow for natural cooling (we were there in summer) and the two patios are lovely. Our kids liked the guest rooms that gave them each a choice of a bed on the floor or up in the loft (both guest bedrooms have lofts). We liked that the home was a little out of the downtown Vancouver traffic but we still had easy access to Granville Island, downtown/Stanley Park, and the airport via a rental car.
