Deb and Jim's place is such a treasure. On my only previous trip to Vancouver, I stayed at a very nice hotel downtown. What I especially appreciated with this stay was the peace I felt with being able to stay in a beautiful neighborhood with easy access to the beach. Downtown is only a short drive away, so we were able to enjoy all that it offers, but in the evenings and mornings to be in a quiet home-like environment was heaven. The price was so reasonable compared to staying downtown as well. Deb and Jim's space was clean and welcoming, and they even went out of their way to have breakfast and snack items tailored to our dietary choices (vegan and gluten-free). Such a considerate gift.
