First of all, I need to say that me and my sister are really happy to be in Ricki's place. He is a kind and an amazing person, all of you will love to know him and his family. Everything that I needed and asked to Ricki him showed up at the same time that I asked for. That's awesome, I loved it. He was always asking if everything was okay and if we needed something. Me and my sister are Brazilians and we stayed there for 1 month and we felt was our home. It's the best thing go to another country and feel it. Thank you so much, Ricki, for everything that you did for us. The Ricki's place it's near from everything, less than 10 minutes by bus of Nanaimo Station (train) and 15 minutes walking to Broadway Station, or you can get a bus to go there, 10 minutes at least. There's places where you can eat near from his house but there's so much more from Broadway, there you will find many good places to eat and to buy things in the Supermarket Safeway. I suggest to all of you to know places in Vancouver like: English Bay, Kitsilano Beach, Capilano Bridge, Davie Street, Robson Street, Granville (there you will find everything that you need and so much more places to eat and places where you can buy what do you want and schools of Dance, where you can do some classes). In Granville you find everything that you want, there's a store there Best Buy, where you can buy things like clothes to cold and cellphones, notebooks, etc. In the Pacific Central, you will find stores like that too. You need to know Stanley Park, Chinese Garden and Gastown (Gastown it's in the Waterfront Station). Everything it's near like 20-30 minutes at least getting the bus and the train. In Gastown you will find things to buy to your family but I suggest to you, guys, go first at Chinatown, there you will find good prices to buy the same things that you find in Gastown (I mean gifts as souvenirs). But search in both sides. Okay? In Gastown you find a Dollorama, there's so much things that you can buy for prices like 1 dolar or just a little more, try to buy things to eat (cook) there before to go in the supermarket. I think it's all I can suggest to you, guys. I know that everyone will love to know Ricki and to stay in his place, you all gonna love it, really! I'm so grateful, Ricki, I hope to see you next time again.
