If I could give Amanda more than 5 stars, I would -- she definitely goes the extra mile for her guests!!! (I lost my phone going thru customs, totally botching my arrival time, yet Amanda was patient & gracious & greeted me with a much needed hug when I finally arrived)
This was my first Airbnb experience, and what a pleasant surprise! The listing photos don't do justice to Amanda's condo: It's absolutely lovely -- tastefully decorated, comfy & inviting, and no detail is overlooked. She's done an impressive job!
During my stay the building was remarkably quiet -- in a completely different league than most hotels (including some so-called "luxury" accommodations where management turns a blind eye -- and ear -- to disruptive guests)
And the location!!! Just far enough off the main drags to feel exclusive, but an easy walk to downtown, Yaletown, Gastown, and the little ferries that shuttle to Granville Island.
In a word, I feel completely SPOILED :-)
I wouldn't hesitate to book with Amanda again!!!
