Alicia is a great communicator, timely and thorough, and this is one of those situations in which the host takes the role very seriously, making sure that everything is explained in advance, and that there are no surprises (except pleasant ones!). We tend to drive to Vancouver, so having parking available in the building is a big plus for us when we can get it. This was our first time staying in what I suppose you'd call a commercial district, as opposed to a residential neighborhood, and we really liked the ability to just leave the car and walk to restaurants and coffee shops. We live in the US, so we've learned not to automatically expect air conditioning when traveling, but Alicia has provided a portable air conditioner that can really make a difference on the hottest days of summer. We've probably stayed in eight different airbnb's in Vancouver, and this is one for which we're likely to check availability first. All the good reviews are well-earned!
