My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Miriam’s home when we visited Vancouver for our niece’s college graduation. It is a truly lovely home in a beautiful neighborhood with easy parking and access to beaches like Jericho and Kitsilano, and it is also quite close to Granville and downtown. You can see the water from the road and the mountains from many of the windows. Miriam’s place is unlike most rental houses because it is really her home. We felt like we were friends who were house-sitting, and we felt a responsibility to take extra care of all the things she had trusted us to use. She has decorated her home with a remarkable assortment of original art. The home is surrounded by a well tended garden, with fresh flowers everywhere. It was so relaxing. Honestly, we felt the photos on Airbnb did not do it justice. Miriam was very easy to communicate with and she was very responsive to messages. She was also super generous with condiments and laundry detergent, the kinds of things that you hate to buy if you’re only staying a week. Incidentally, the WiFi was excellent.
In summary, if you are looking for a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood near Kitsilano, you should consider yourself very lucky if you are able to stay here; we most certainly did.
