Niki's place was an absolute gem! The location is great; I was in town on business for a conference downtown, which is only 10 minutes away by car / 20 by bus (and it's right next to a bus stop). It was a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the conference. The home itself is charming. While many Airbnbs give you merely a comfortable and clean space, this one truly felt like home with many personal touches. For my late night check-in, I was grateful to be greeted with a bowl of fruits, a bag of chips, and some snack bars. There was also a magazine introducing a recent art event. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of pots, pans, and utensils for dining in. I loved enjoying Niki's loose-leaf tea out of handmade mugs! There is so much artwork around, even in the kitchen tiles! I was also grateful that essentials like shampoo, lotion, hairdryer, etc. were provided. And Niki is really right upstairs, an easy knock on the door away! I'd definitely stay here (with friends or family, too!) the next time I'm in Vancouver.
