The location! The space! The VIEW!
Marina's place was absolutely amazing! I could rave on for quite some time how much we loved Marina's place. Just to name a few pointers:
-Location, location, location! It was centrally located to everything we wanted to be near- public transit, restaurants, Stanley Park, and all the wonderous coffee shops we wanted to try. Most everything was within walking distance and if not, public transit stops were all only a few minutes walk and you'd be on your way!
-The place! Not only was the kitchen furnished with the essentials (plates, cups, coffee, tea, etc), but the place was clean and just absolutely adorable. One can tell Marina has placed great care in her place.
-The VIEW! If nothing else, the view from Marina's place made it completely worth it. Her place is on the 18th floor and we could have hung out at the solarium and stared at that view all day!
-Marina herself! She was super responsive to our questions, and was even kind enough to let us check in 30mins early, which meant we could drop off our bags after a morning of travel, refresh, and get on with our exploring of Gastown! We also had a couple questions during our 4 day stay and we always heard back almost immediately. We really appreciated that we could so easily reach out to her when we needed to.
We are already hoping to book Marina's place again in Jan, but it looks like she's all booked- and to no one's surprise! With a place that great, I feel like we got really lucky we were able to book her place to begin with for our stay. We certainly would not hesitate to book her place again!
