I had a great stay at Linda and Avi's place in the Electra building.
They were easy to communicate with, and very accommodating when i missed my flight and had to reschedule my arrival the subsequent day.
It is a pretty little apartment perfectly situated in Vancouver. I could walk almost everywhere i wanted to go from here- shopping, great eating, Stanley Park and the conference center were all within 20 minutes' walk, For travelling a bit farther, the skytrain was close by. There was a beautiful, newly renovated YMCA across the street.
I would return here in a heartbeat for another visit to Vancouver.
