I couldn't have wished for a better experience than I had with Diane in Vancouver for my first airbnb stay ever. The apartment was comfy and clean in a safe area. Downtown could easily be reached with several bus lines that stopped only 2 blocks away and run as frequently as every 8 minutes during the day and every 20 minutes even on a Saturday night. Let's just say I don't enjoy the same type of public transportation at home. ;-) The apartment had everything you'd need even if you didn't want to go out every day (as I did), including a large set of spices, cooking oil, coffee in the fridge, microwave, you name it. There was even a phone to make local calls and receive in-coming long distance calls, plus, not to forget, free WIFI so I could let my family know the phone nr. to call when my US cell phone refused to work in Canada. Diane herself was absolutely lovely, even going so far as picking me up from the train station at 11 PM at night and bringing me back there early on a Sunday morning. I only wish I had had more time to spend in Vancouver. Thanks, Diane, for being such an exceptionally great host!
