Sina is a wonderful and lovely host! She was quick to respond to my messages and suggested me places to see and do. The apartment is just as pictured, and was cozy, clean, and bright. It was also well decorated with pictures, seashells, plants, and candles that gave it a lovely, homely feel. The couch bed wasn't uncomfortable.
The neighborhood itself is safe and beautiful. As it was spring, flowers were blooming everywhere. It is also conveniently located near many restaurants and several bus stops.
Had a great time in Vancouver. Thanks Sina!
