The flat was in a quiet residential neighbourhood but it was really easy to get downtown. Just a short walk and a short train ride. Catherine is a great host. Very welcoming. There is everything you need in the flat - coffee,tea, cakes, biscuits etc replenished every day. It's calm and cool. You can sit outside in the garden and enjoy chatting to Catherine. There's lots of space in the flat too. A great choice in Vancouver.
