We stayed at Hande's place for a few days before heading up to Squamish. We really enjoyed our stay, and thanks to Hande's comprehensive house manual, felt like true locals. Hande has included tips on where to eat, where the best coffee is hidden, and best tourist experiences which took the guesswork out of being in a new location. The house itself is simply yet beautifully furnished and really feels like home. The neighbourhood surrounds are green and leafy and wonderful to wander in the cool of the evening. Yet bustling restaurants, live music and shopping are only a block away on the eclectic commercial road. Hande as a host was wonderful with communication. Definitely recommend.
