I landed in Canada as a newcomer and stayed here for the first 30 days of my stay.
Location : Sarah and Daniel's place is at a perfect location. Stanley park, coal harbour, waterfront, the english bay beach and pretty much everything downtown is easily accessible by a short walk. There is public transport easily available in case you'd like to go further.
The accommodation : The room was clean, colourful and bright. I loved the amount of space I had to accommodate all my clothes and bags! It has a great study/work table with plenty of space to really organise your stuff if you so wish. There is a green couch which just adds so much colour and character to the room.
The room has blinds as well now, so if you're not the one for the morning sunshine streaming though the windows and on to your face, you could just shut the blinds! The patio was perfect : private, well lit with fairy lights and peaceful. Every room is a good size so you don't feel cramped. I had free access of the kitchen and great coffee. Salt, pepper and sugar too. (I'm specifying this because many airbnbs don't give you a basic stocked kitchen)
The hosts : Sarah and Daniel themselves are excellent hosts. They are friendly and accommodating. I felt like a part of the family and I will always appreciate how they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable.
The house has character. It has colour. It is warm, friendly and welcoming. It is full of stories that reside in the knick-knacks around the house. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in regards to location or my hosts. You don't want to miss staying here. Highly recommended.
