Mary's place is in the perfect neighborhood to explore Vancouver. When we arrived, Mary greeted us on a beautiful sunny Spring day. Her garden was in bloom and we were immediately enchanted by this new city we were discovering.
Main Street definitely has a hipster vibe. There are juice bars, vegan restaurants, coffee houses and bookstores two blocks away.
Our two boys loved the playground across the street and the soccer fields at the park a couple of blocks away.
The apartment has two comfortable bedrooms, a nice kitchen, and a living room with a flatscreen TV. We made use of the washer and dryer.
We had a rental car but it would be easy to get around Vancouver by bus, bike, or on foot from Mary's place. Also, Mary is a lovely person--I wish I had had the chance to talk more with her!
