First of all, Crystal (the host) is very responsive and pleasant to deal with. Her instructions are so clear and thorough.
For us, the location could not have been more perfect. It was easy to get to UBC, gastown, downtown and the ferry stop to Granville island. So many great places to eat within walking distance. The T&T market, liquor store and Starbucks are conveniently a block away. Having free parking underground was a huge bonus!
Crystal’s place was so clean and well stocked. Plenty of blankets/pillows if you need to sleep on the sofa bed - which was very comfortable, by the way. Her place had everything we needed. We really enjoyed staying there.
