Our host Mary made us very welcome and we settled in very quickly. The apartment is better than described in the profile and is very well supplied. It is just off Main Street, is very close to a very good supermarket and to lots of restaurants. There is a lovely easy atmosphere about the entire neighbourhood. Bus routes to downtown are frequent and cheap and it is also convenient to the Canada Line metro service. There is easy access to the entire Vancouver area whether it be the University, Kitsilano Beach, Stanley Park or Grouse Mountain. We had a most enjoyable time in Vancouver which was greatly enhanced by staying in Mary's garden flat.
