Sarah and Tom are excellent hosts with a great home to share. Their additional effort and service to ensure a great stay does not go unnoticed. A few examples including:
-I mentioned we were visiting Vancouver for my boyfriend’s birthday and so Sarah gave us 2 IPAs and chocolate cupcake upon arrival.
- We asked for a ride to the airport and Tom drove us to the airport (for a small charge)
As for the location, it really is a 10 minutes walk to public transportation(which is important because the city hasn’t allowed lyft/Uber to operate yet) which will take you pretty much anywhere in the city so we were very happy with the location!
As for the privacy aspect, you have your own door to your own floor so you really feel like you have your own house/space and then can just ask Tom/Sarah if you need anything (I asked Sarah for hair mousse and she was happy to share). They have two kids so you might v occasionally hear them upstairs but we typically always had music playing or were sleeping so it wasn’t a big deal to us at all.
Sarah and Tom are the reason Airbnb is so great- connecting good people and trusting others to share and treat other’s homes with respect. High praise for this sweet couple!!
Best,
