Odette's place is very comfortable and well furnished. A lovely, light garden apartment in the city fringes. However, we came to Vancouver on a weekend with very poor air quality due to forest fires about which we were given no further information, so we tried to stay indoors whenever possible, without missing out on sightseeing altogether. We found the local environs a bit downmarket (described as "up and coming") and the journey into the city via the (as we discovered) notoriously downbeat Hasting Street rather disconcerting. As such, it was not a great stay, and we will not be tempted to return in a hurry.
