Staying at Dilesh's place was so great that I don't know how to start. Well, it'll be a long text, but if you don't want to read it all I'll give a spoiller: it's amazing! Don't be in doubt, if you can, stay there!
Let's say about the apartment. Everything is clean and beautifull. It's really 5 minutes walking form the Grandville Island (maybe less than 5!) and 20 minutes walking from dowtown. There is 3 bus stop is less 100 meters walking and the grocery store (big and cheap) is in the ground floor of the building). It's also reaaly near by some yoga studios, the Broadway avenue and the Kitsillano beach. I don't see a better location to stay...
The bedroom is really nice, not small at all, has an amazing view, the bed is comfortable with good quality sheets and a big closet (fits clothes for the week + 1 huge bag + 2 small ones + 2 backpacks and there was still some space!). The bathroom is pretty, the shower is truly good, the towels are super soft and he offers shampoo, conditioner, soap, moisturizing and even makeup and polish removal!
Dilesh is a very nice person, attentive, obliging and friendly! He even lends the city transport card!! He also gave us incredible tips on places to go, tours, restaurants... I can not think how the stay could be better!
