Kitsalano is a wonderful neigborhood. Francis place is literally two blocks from a great beach and restaurant. We found ourselves eating at the Beach House two nights in a row due to its proximity and good food. Kits Point is an extremely well kept neighborhood. Parking in front and rear (once you figure out the street parking it is a breeze). Francois and Lisa are gracious hosts, and were very helpful with all of our requests, including pointing us to Vancouver walks/attractions. The hosts live in the building, but no one lives in this unit, so there is room to spread without worrying about someone else's possessions.. The kitchen was fine for our minimal needs, but we never actually cooked anything.
