Cecilia greeted me upon my arrival and offered a variety of tips for our stay. Her apartment was already stocked with all the essentials, yet she made herself available at any time via phone as well as a backup just in case we needed anything else. The off-street parking spot is enormously convenient and the neighbors are very friendly as well. Tree-lined sidewalks in the neighborhood make for excellent strolls while the nearby grocery stores and restaurants proved extremely convenient. The close-in location coupled with our host's impeccably clean & comfortable apartment (beds are perfect!) magnified our Vancouver visit and we are grateful for Cecilia's part in making it so!
