I choose Nadika's ad because of her location. I was going to an intensive program in Downtown Vancouver and really just wanted to take the hassle out of commuting everyday so I could focus on my studies. When I got there I was not disappointed! Nadika is so lucky to live where she does. 2 and half blocks from the Skytrain and a Starbucks just around the corner from the front door of the building; equals your coffee's still nice and hot while your waiting for the train!
That Skytrain is brilliant too. It was so easy once you figured out which direction you need to go and what platform you need to leave from. Waterfront station is the hub of where you need to go to catch the other Skytrain lines and from Yaletown your only 2 stops away; that’s not even 10 mins. Plus if you traveling from Vancouver International Airport or want to experience Victoria on Vancouver Island for the day, both lines come through that Yaletown station. Hands down, its a great place to be in! Sure, you'll hear a few car alarms going off and/or an ambulance go by, but it was few and far between, and when you consider how close you are to the Downtown core I’m surprised at how quiet it was. I was a special case too, I stayed with Nadika for 4 weeks. I didn't even realise I could walk to school instead of taking the train. 15 mins your on Granville Street where there’s lots shops, theatres and just a plain old buzz of activity. 20 mins and your at Pacific Centre mall... Which could either be a really good thing, or a not so good thing :P

The condo was awesome! The room provided consisted of a comfortable place to sleep and nice big drawers to put all your stuff in. Vancouver was really hot when I stayed too, and Nadika was really accommodating and brought up a fan for me to use. In fact. she saved me twice, because my blender had a meltdown halfway threw my stay and she very kindly brought me one to use!

Yaletown is a fabulous hot spot. A nice blend of trendy restaurants, clothing shops, hair salons, cafes and grocers all within a comfortable walking distance, without that feeling over being too overcrowded. Yaletown is big on urban living and almost everywhere you look it is littered with these cute little town homes in amongst these beautiful emerald trees and bushes. Over all, definitely a great stay experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to visit Vancouver!
