Birgit's home is exactly what we were looking for and what we needed when we went to Vancouver for the first time. Its clean, cosy, comfortable and has all the necessities we needed for a week stay (laundry, kitchen, warm showers, comfortable beds, etc). Birgit is very helpful and a kind host, although we did not socialize that much (we had to meet our relatives for the first time in a while) the way she greeted us and gave us suggestions where we can go around for breakfast, groceries or gelato--really showed that she is an amazing host who cares that you appreciate not only her home but what her neighborhood can offer. My daughter especially loved the big playground right in front of their home, and the Bunny Cafe which is also a walking distance from their place. They also have this amazing wild garden with lots of flowers and vegetation. This is our first trip after the pandemic and we are so glad that it was a wonderful and memorable trip.
