Staying at Helen's place was a joy; a home away from home for my 7 nights in Vancouver. Helen's home was spotless and beautifully decorated. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic- Helen even made me scrambled eggs for my birthday :) Every detail has been considered: from general things like excellent WI-FI, toiletries in the private bathroom, detailed area guide etc; to personal touches like my home country flag on the door and the lift Helen gave me to the train station. Mount Pleasant is an ideal location in a relaxed family neighbourhood (so you're guaranteed a good night's sleep) but close enough to main transport routes to bring you downtown. Easy walking distance to other neighbourhoods too. (For craft beer fans, many independent breweries are north of Mount Pleasant around Main St.) Can't recommend this place enough. Helen was the epitome of a 'Superhost' and she's raised the benchmark! A truly kind and generous lady who really made me feel at home. Thanks again Helen & Gypsy ;)
