Victoria was such an amazing host. My friend and I were privileged to be her first guests in her family's beautiful apartment. Victoria went over and beyond, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and giving us inside tips to enjoying Vancouver, especially the really cool neighborhood.
The apartment is beautiful and new with high end finishes, comfortable beds and furniture and the most epic flat screen for a movie night in. The bathroom was amazing, with hot water on demand. The basement apartment was designed to maximize daylight and give an open feeling with high ceilings. It's really beautiful and modern with great lighting.
The location exceeded my expectations. This being my first trip to Vancouver, I was happy to know I was within walking distance to many of Vancouver's best known restaurants. There were many cool and unusual thrift stores in the neighborhood as well. My first day, I spent walking down the cherry blossom lined streets, exploring the neighborhood. Truly, you could spend a few days exploring this neighborhood without need of a car.
Overall, I had a great experience with Victoria and her lovely apartment - I always felt welcomed and comfortable. On a trip to this beautiful city, this was the cherry on top.
