We enjoyed our stay in Michel & Helene's place very much. Our daughter is at UBC and for us the apartment was perfectly located between downtown and the campus, a stonethrow away from the beach with a spectacular view. The nice shops and restaurant on W 4th Ave are an additional bonus and public transportation to downtown is easy and convenient. Communciation with Michel was excellent before and during our stay. He and his wife were traveling and we never actually met them, but we were in good hands with their daughter. The photos give a perfect impression of what the apartment looks like and we found everything in very good condition. I can highly recommend this place without any reservation.
