We absolutely highly recommend making Frances and Easton's beautiful home your base in Vancouver. The location is perfect for easy SkyTrain rides into downtown in just a few minutes, but when you're 1 minute from Commercial Drive, you really have all you want - good cafés, sushi, gelato, bookshops etc. And the house is just beautiful, a wonderful west coast vibe with classic Vancouver heritage home feels and an amazing deck area in the back garden. Great amenities, very timely and helpful communication with hosts. Wish we had more time! Do it, and have a great visit :)
