Zoey’s place was gorgeous. Her listing description is accurate. The neighborhood was lovely. We enjoyed the nearby public park and many restaurants that are all an easy walk from the house. The house was comfortable and we all slept well.
The one thing I would mention is that per other reviews we took the bus service into downtown Vancouver. I would not do this again as the route goes straight down Hastings street, which I now know is Vancouver’s “skid row”. I had my five and two year old with me and felt very uncomfortable as we watched people shoot up drugs on the street and all the general wild behavior of a large group of people influenced by drugs and alcohol. You can google Hastings street and get the idea. I am from Houston and currently live in Seattle so I have a high tolerance “big city life” and the downsides of it- but I truly found this area disturbing and wish I had been warned.
I would stay at Zoey’s again without a doubt- I felt very safe in her neighborhood- but I would drive into downtown and just pay to park somewhere.
