We had a wonderful stay at Lorna's place. The garden apartment offered ample space for three travelers, and it was super convenient to have a washer and dryer. The location can't be beat; it's in a quiet, safe, adorable neighborhood, and is walkable to a variety of restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, shopping and to the waterfront (though it was too cold to enjoy the beach during our early April visit). The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking, but we found so many excellent vegetarian dining options in and around Kitsilano that we never took full advantage of it. Lorna made us feel right at home with thoughtful touches (fresh fruit, bread, Easter chocolates and lovely soaps in the bathroom). We had a rental car, so I can't confirm the ease of public transport, but the apartment was a short drive to downtown and Stanley Park. While it was a little too chilly to enjoy the garden patio, I can tell it would be great place to unwind in the warmer months. If you come, be sure to bring a book for Lorna's 'leave a book/take a book' exchange.
