We just came back home from a wonderfull vacation in Vancouver. I contacted Nicholas a bit on a panic 2 days before our trip (Our previous reservation got cancelled) and was very pleased he responded within an hour. We exchanged a few emails that day and he was able to accomodate us at the last minute and even arrange for a late arrival at his place. We also spent some times on the phone to get to know each other. When we arrived, the house was clean and Nicholas had left very clear informations on how to use the appliances, amenities and suggestions of restaurants in the area. If you don’t mind staying outside of the downtow area, we strongly recommend Nicholas’ place. The house is located one block from commercial drive ; a vibrant and livelly street where you can find lots of nice restaurants, pubs, cafés, little shops, groceries etc. And the sky train is really only 5 minutes walk from his house making it easy and fast to get to most of Vancouver’s atractions. I loved cooking in the beautifull gourmet kitchen and the house has a very nice sunny terrasse we enjoyed in the afternoon for relaxing. If you have a car, there is always parking available in the street. Thanks again Nicholas for making our stay in Vancouver so confortable !
