This was my first stay via AirBnB and Amy helped me with everything even before I booked. She was incredibly nice and helpful, provided really valuable tips, which made may stay so much easier and even more enjoyable! Before, during and after my stay, Amy and her boyfriend Matt were always reachable for whatever question I had, simply excellent hosts. The apartment itself is even more amazing than the pictures suggest, with the huge window fronts and a balcony offering an excellent view of the Vancouver skyline, a spacious, modern bathroom with both tub and shower and excellent appliances (washer, dryer, dishwasher, oven, ...). It was very clean, comfortable and cozy - I felt truly at home in the place!

Furthermore, its location in the centre of Downtown Vancouver is absolutely perfect to explore the city by foot. Once I got there, I never had to use public transport, everything I needed was right around the corner, and everything else just the right distance for a nice walk! Vancouver is simply amazing and I can only recommend taking as many walks as possible to discover this buzzing, fascinating city. The harbour, Stanley Park, Granville Island, False Creek - there's so much to see in walking distance, I really would have liked to stay longer.

The 'tl;dr' version: If every place on AirBnB was like Amy's and every host as nice and helpful, I'd never stay in Hotel again - full recommendation!
