Laulé and her husband were wonderful hosts and their home's got a welcoming feel. The room itself is small but perfectly formed, with a bathroom shared with a second Airbnb room.

I'd definitely recommend staying. The location's perfect for exploring Downtown Vancouver and is also a short walk to the sightseeing buses, seaplane terminal, Urban Fare supermarket and Robson Street shops. Laulé gave me maps and, on finding out what I was interested in, marked several locations I might like to visit.
