I and my 14-year-old son spent 4 months in Julie and Grant’s wonderful apartment and enjoyed the place immensely. Our conclusion is that it doesn’t get much better than this in Vancouver. The apartment itself is beautiful and very well equipped, with absolutely everything you need. Not only is everything there but it is also high-quality stuff, from the comfortable beds, to the great television with AppleTV and the kitchen appliances. Even the frying pan is high quality! The location is fantastic, in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood but still just a 2-minute walk to all your daily shopping needs. It is also very close to the sea and the wonderful Jericho Beach Park and other beaches. With a bike it is also within easy striking distance of both Downtown and UBC. Finally, Julie and Grant are the perfect hosts, being exceptionally helpful and friendly.
