After spending 4 glorious days in Vancouver staying at Lynne’s apartment over Memorial Day 2018 weekend, I can’t imagine a valid reason for staying somewhere else !
Her sleek, impeccable and indeed chic apartment has the taste, the vibe and the amenities one can only enjoy at top notch suites in top notch boutique hotels: spacious bedroom with most comfortable mattress and pillows, good count sheets and duvet, great lighting options, extraordinarily abundance of closet space, well located full-body mirror…...And tons of clothes hangers.
Beautifully and also cleverly designed bathroom (with great lighting options), plenty of triple sets of good quality towels that actually work, good soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner; and the most important attribute in any bathroom: Water pressure with cold and hot water flowing plentifully.....And a terry cotton bathrobe and sleepers and candle with matches for the bathtub.
The kitchen/dining area allows fun mingling why preparing meals. Lynne makes sure that everything that a guest needs for cooking during vacation trips is at hand. I never felt frustrated for grabbing utensils that didn’t work, knives that didn’t cut, cheap silverware or glassware, oven that didn’t warm up or refrigerators that didn’t make ice fastl enough. Everything organized in a matter that makes sense and save time and aggravations (so important when in vacation mode).... And that popular espresso machine.
The living room includes sleek furniture that in spite of its sleekness, provides the warm comfort any tired traveler looks forward at the end of each day. Cozy in many ways and which feels/looks brand new. Ease to figure out remotes, great screen resolution and sound quality. Big and wide floor to ceiling windows……And thick black blinds and double curtains.
The apartment is designed so to allow the most pleasant flow and a sense of comfort and space so delightful to indulge with when in vacations.
All the gadgets Lynn’s has put in place to allow a safe access and a sense of security are a welcome addition.
Lynne’s apartment in most terrific of locations: few steps from the grand entrance of Chinatown (where reminiscent of less prosperous days in the neighborhood still persists), 5-minute walk from a major metro station, a major supermarket, a major liquors store, and major drug store; a Starbucks and much more…… And although busy and lively it was somehow quiet.
Apartment is also a couple of blocks from the best part of popular Gastown and few steps to buses that take you directly to Stanley Clark and Canada place. Public transportation in Vancouver is fabulous and all will be all at your fingertips when staying at Lynne’s place.
And then there was Lynne’s communication! She thinks of everything and doesn’t leave anything to chances. Anticipating everything and always communicating eloquently the main plan A; but also a possible plans B and C….. And then her sweetness and warmth.
She has the manners of 5-star hotel concierge.
Did I say I strongly recommend this Airbnb?
Yes, I said yes, I will yes
