We had an excellent time with Nicola. The location is superb with easy and close access to supermarket, restaurants, public transport and activities. We loved the fact that we were so close to the waters edge and Stanley Park. Cafes and eateries were nearby so that after eating and entertainment late at night it was an easy walk home.
Nicola was a great host, she communicated well with us prior to arrival and getting to her house from the airport. Once there she informed us of all the amenities and local attractions. Although shared accommodation, we had lots of privacy and also lots of good conversations with Nicola. We would totally return and stay next time we are in Vancouver.
