Samia met up with us when we first arrived and when I met her, it felt like I was running into an old friend. She is so warm and friendly and keeps in contact with you if you need anything. Gave us great local tips about where to go and which streets were vibrant to do many things. The first thing you need to do when you reach Samia’s apartment is to get on the balcony and enjoy the beautiful view. I could not get over how pretty the view was and it was heaven waking up in the morning and just stepping out on the balcony. Along with that view comes a cozy place that provides you with everything you need. Her apartment is extremely walkable to many great restaurants, shops and nightlife. English Bay beach is right down the street and Stanley Park is nearby! The neighborhood is quiet and safe, nice to just walk around. Everything was perfection. Thank you for your hospitality Samia! Would definitely come back to yours for another stay in Vancouver.
