When we booked to stay at Hande's apartment we hadn't anticipated that we would have a rental vehicle at our disposal for the time of our stay. I was concerned how parking would be, but I needn't have. One of the features of staying at Hande's is that it is quite suburban, on street parking aplenty, but just a short walk away from the hubbub of Commercial Drive, and close to the city centre too. In fact we found the location to be quite ideal for our travelling and discovery in and around greater Vancouver.
The apartment was warm, stylishly presented, and very clean and tidy. There were all the accoutrements that one could want for a short stay.
Arrangements and communication in preparation for our stay were all promptly dealt with and very helpfully provided. We were made to feel very welcomed and well informed. We met Hande's co-host, Mehmet, on our arrival and he assisted us into the building.
There was also helpful information in the apartment about places locally for shopping for supplies and for dining and coffee.
Here's my hot tip - if you are a coffee lover then do not go past Moja in Commercial Drive. My partner and I, both coffee fanatics, declared this to be the best coffee we had experienced during our time in Alberta and British Columbia.
I strongly recommend that you stay at Hande's place.
