Michael’s place is beautiful—the pictures are accurate but it’s hard to capture the beauty of the views in photos, so the real thing was even more spectacular than we expected. It seems that he has thought of everything—the kitchen has all the necessities and the bathroom has several toiletries available for guests. The dining table is small but cute and the couch is incredibly comfortable. Having Netflix available was a nice addition. However, what really makes Michael’s place stand out is the central location. We left our car in the lot across the street for the duration of the trip—we did not need it because we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Yaletown, Granville Street, Robson Street, Stanley Park, and Granville island are all easily accessible by walking or public transportation if you prefer. What a wonderful place!
