Our stay at Howie and Lisa's cosy basement apartment in Vancouver was our first experience with airbnb, and it was wonderful! Lisa was welcoming, kind and gave us great tips on local cafes and restaurants to check out. The location of the apartment is pretty phenomenal; the bus to downtown stops just a hop skip and a jump away and Commercial Drive in itself is probably one of the most cool, vibrant and culturally interesting inner city suburb of Van, providing a fantastic base from which to explore colourful Vancouver culture. Ultimately, Howie and Lisa's cosy and warm apartment is a really great place to stay and we highly recommend it!
