We truly enjoyed arriving in Catherine's lovely, cold basement studio after on long, hot and tiring day of driving from Portland. The house is located in a quiet, elegant and convenient part of Vancouver (just a 15 minute drive from downtown). I could not think of a better place to return at night after an exciting but tiring day spent walking in and exploring the incredible city Vancouver is. We did not get to meet Catherine but were able to talk to her husband, Mario, one morning.
Mario is a warm and friendly host, with whom we would have liked to spend more time. Mario made excellent suggestions regarding places to eat and transportation. All in all we were delighted with Catherine and Mario's place, which will be our place of choice when we return to Vancouver, which we will definitely do. It will also be the place we recommend to our European friends and relatives who are planning to travel to Vancouver in the near future. Thank you, Catherine and Mario !
