Pamela's place is perfection! She and her daughter Kayla have a keen eye for detail, are easy to communicate with, and are truly gracious and kind hosts. The apartment looks every bit as good as its pictures. It is in a great location just off Cambie Street (shopping, transport, eating all within a 5 mins walk) but incredibly quiet.

The renovations to the flat are meticulously thought out & there are top-notch appliances + fittings. (The Blomberg dishwasher might be better than my own Miele!! Just as quiet, better at cleaning pots + pans.) While the place is small, it functions incredibly well, with tons of storage. It feels spacious, and was an incredibly comfortable place for my sister to stay for a week while our own condo was being renovated.

We cooked almost every night and truly appreciated that Pamela had picked really high quality place settings (bone china! - none of the usual Ikea 365 rubbish beloved of other AirBnB hosts), excellent cookware (Paderno pans) and fantastic ceramic knives.
The bathroom is equally nice, with the most excellent soaker tub.

In the words of AirBnB's help desk, I am a heavyweight AirBnB user - I am staying in 7 different properties over 6 weeks. This is the cleanest property I have ever stayed in - it passed every white glove test with flying colours. As I also live in Vancouver, barring another renovation I sadly have no reason to return to Pamela's flat, but I would come back in a heartbeat.
