If you want a truly comfortable and independent place to stay while in a central area of Vancouver, look no further. This is a spotless, spacious and comfortable Airbnb, walking distance to a variety of cool shops and restaurants. I used it as a home base while visiting friends in North Vancouver and Maple Ridge. There is ample parking on the street and the neighbourhood is safe and walkable. I liked that I could come and go as I pleased. Sarah provided very useful tips on where to eat and responded very quickly when I had a question about using the TV. The young family upstairs did make some noise, but not enough to interfere with my stay. I look forward to staying here again.
