Helen was the best host we could ask for. Not only was her home beautiful, spacious, and well designed (by her, BTW!), Helen topped off the experience with her awesome hospitality. Helen greeted us personally when we arrived and we had a lengthy chat about her suggestions for restaurants, sightseeing spots, how to get around, etc., as we were visiting Vancouver for the first time. She even drove us to a restaurant for lunch so we wouldn’t have to call a cab! Helen made us feel comfortable knowing she was up the street when we needed her, but also gave us privacy. She checked in with us every morning with suggestions for the day, and even profusely apologized for the rainy weather we experienced (which could not be her fault!).
We were in town for a bachelorette party, so Helen made some suggestions as to which “party” spots to hit, and even put us down for a guest list at a club. This just goes to show how far Helen went to make our trip smooth and memorable!
The home was amazing. Very modern, but cozy at the same time. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you may need, from pots and pans to champagne glasses and many spices. There are two outdoor areas to hang out in, one downstairs with a picnic style table and one upstairs deck with patio furniture and a fire pit! Unfortunately, due to the weather, we were not able to enjoy either of these.
I could go on and on about how great our stay was, but you get the picture. Thank you so much Helen for everything! See you soon ;)
