I had a great stay in Kitsilano while spending time at the University of British Columbia. The accommodation was very comfortable and a great set-up for simple living - all the basics in easy reaching distance! Rasha was welcoming, helpful and knowledgable about the city and surrounds. The neighbourhood is friendly and well equipped with cafes, restaurants and various other shopping options nearby. The bus options in the vicinity are also good. The beach and parks nearby provide nice possibilities for being near nature. A great spot!
