Sylvain and Alexis are the best hosts we have experienced with Airbnb. They go beyond to make you comfortable and relaxed in their home. We had a bedroom in their home and yet did not feel in the way, or uncomfortable. We had our own private bathroom. Also, we had access to a washer and dryer.
For breakfast, Sylvain made sure we had a variety of fruit every morning, and helped us retain our diet (diabetic).
The neighborhood is on one side exciting, energetic with Commercial Street a few seconds from his house. Restaurants of many ethnic backgrounds, grocery stores, beauty salons, boutiques of all kinds. Also, bus and tram service can be taken from this street. If you walk the opposite direction you can walk through the tranquil, beautiful homes of the neighborhood. Sylvains home is also in a very good location to go anywhere in Vancouver within minutes. He also gives you very good directions.
We highly recommend renting their bedroom(s) or the private apartment they have in their basement. The basement apartment is beautifully done and private.
