Chris"s place was great and gave me an awesome start to Vancouver, coming from Australia. Throughout the process from the beginning, Chris responded to all my queries and gave me all the necessary information one can think off. His place was easy to find and check into and the apartment had an amazing view of the city and various mountains surrounding Vancouver. Chris responded to all my queries quickly and sent me courtesy texts time to time to ensure my stay was going smooth. The apartment itself is very close to broadway city hall station which takes you pretty much everywhere (Canada Line to downtown/airport 10-15 mins or buses going to Kits/UBC/East Van 20-30 mins), plus the Cambie Village area near the station has pretty much everything you need (Wholefoods, Safeway,Starbucks, banks, phone companies etc.). The apartment was clean, safe and tidy but had a couple of minor issues, DVD and Dryer stopped working, wifi was weak but nothing which couldn't have been worked around and Chris was always very responsive in getting any issues fixed asap. Overall a pleasure to stay here, didn't want to leave - thanks Chris!
