Mike and Christine's neighborhood is lovely. It's quiet, and pleasant to walk around. It's right on the edge of the UBC campus, too. Also, there was free parking on the street for our cars. If you locate downtown, parking may be unavailable or expensive. They are only about 10 minutes drive from the airport and 20 minutes to half an hour from Stanley Park. If you know Vancouver, you will appreciate how quickly you can drive to any desired location, from UBC, to Kits, Jericho and Spanish Banks, to the West End. The home itself is modern, spotless, and spacious. We were four adults and two children. Being a Finn myself, the sauna was a special blessing. Christine and Mike were always quick to reply to communications. Christine even messaged me about my son's stray sandal, offering to mail it back. Their home is considerably less expensive, more spacious and enjoyable than many bnb's. Book it now!
