Sandrine and her dog (Smudge) were excellent hosts. We went to Vancouver with our bikes as we wanted to bike around town and we were very pleased by the location of her place. We were also able to lock our bikes to the public patio area (which was part of her townhouse complex). A fun 25 minute bike ride takes you to downtown. There's also a bus stop right outside her townhouse (one bus took us straight to downtown). Her place is right on Fraser street, therefore there were lots of places within walking distance. You could even walk to main street from her place to access a variety of restaurants. For the price you definitely can't get a better location than this. The bedroom itself was very clean and you can definitely take a peek at the mountains from your window. Would definitely recommend her place, especially if you enjoy dogs.
