Diane's apartment was just so lovely-- it was such a good experience all around. She is super responsive, and was flexible about check-in time, which was very helpful. Impeccably clean, the kitchen stocked with plenty of basics (lots of spices, coffee, tea, pasta etc), lots of extra clean towels. She provides a booklet of information regarding the apartment and the surrounding area, which was great to have. The apartment really has all the amenities one would need (toiletries, hair dryer, etc). Diane gave awesome restaurant recommendations, first in emails before I arrived, and in the apartment there's an entire (tidy!) box of take-out menus, maps of the area, etc. The neighborhood is beautiful, lots of houses with wonderful spring flowers and families, a nice walk to the Commercial Drive area (maybe 12min?) which was so much fun-- cute galleries, restaurants, bars (with great local beer!), cafes, lots of small produce markets and organic/ specialty food stores. I wanted to live in that neighborhood! Walking distance to bus service, about 25+min walk to the skytrain station (pretty long walk... definitely better to take a cab if returning late). I loved staying there! Thanks so much for everything, Diane :)
