Michiko was a great host and her apartment was extremely suitable. Not very big, but it managed to fit me, my rather tall husband as well as four suitcases being continually opened, quite easily. She provided lots of goodies in the kitchen and I didn't end up using any of my toiletries (like shampoos and liquid bath soaps) at all. I just used hers because they were so lovely. The apartment is in an ideal location for public transport, the Hop On Hop Off Bus (right outside the door) and the ferry to Granville Island. Also the walk along the beaches is wonderful. The restaurants and bars along the water are very reasonable and friendly and the walk up to Davie Rd a good nice walk. Highly recommend this apartment for a couple.
