Amazing host!!! DD went out of her way to make sure that our Vancouver experience sticks with us for a long time. As we arrived on very short notice, DD was there to greet us with a genuine smile which instantly made us feel welcome and wanted. In the front, the house is surrounded by a beautiful garden full of flowers. As we walked around the side to our private upstairs suite entrance, we came across a whimsical patio garden with a magnificent view of the city. As we sat on the deck overlooking the city, DD gave us an inside overview of things to do in Vancouver and recommended a great Caribbean restaurant which was only a 5 minute walk from the house. The suite itself was clean and only 3 miles away from downtown. Our trip took place in late July, given the unusually high temperatures we found the suite to be hot at nights even though DD provided us with an electric fan. We later learned that most buildings in Vancouver do not use A/C system which we found interesting. Overall, our experience in Vancouver was fantastic and we are grateful DD was our host.
