Staying at Linda's place was a delight. As a host, Linda is communicative, friendly and helpful, meeting us on arrival to show us round. She also called the day after our arrival to check that we'd settled in OK.

As for the apartment, not only is it brilliantly located within a short walk of everything, but it's also well equipped and designed in a stylish way, with a really comfortable bed and superb TV setup (if you have time to watch TV). Being a penthouse it's also lovely and peaceful - just what I needed while convalescing from an injury.

The private balcony gives a great view across town, and the swimming pool is right across the hall. We didn't use the pool due to the time of year, but just strolling out there gives more amazing views of the city.

All in all I'd recommend looking no further than Linda's place if you want a great value, stylish, comfortable and well located apartment in Vancouver. We'll definitely make it our first choice when we return to the city!
