Hande's place was the perfect vacation spot for my stay in Vancouver - great location with great restaurants & cute independent shops a couple blocks away, a charming neighborhood with a community feel, and public transportation within walking distance; the apartment was clean, spacious, beautifully decorated with a wonderful bathroom, supplied with travel suggestions from Hande, & well stocked if you want to cook or do laundry. Hande's father kindly welcomed me upon my arrival. Although I didn't meet Hande, correspondance with her was always timely, friendly & helpful; she was very hospitable. Transaction from reservation to check-out was smooth throughout. I really enjoyed my stay. Felt like a home away from home, and got that local feel I was seeking. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!
