Kate & her family's hospitality rose are above & beyond the most complimentary words I could bestow upon them! From my initial email to Kate prior to booking, she had replied promptly & thoroughly. She continued to cordially answer any questions I had once I had booked as I was traveling solo to a new city and utilizing Airbnb for the first time on my own.
After months of anticipation, I arrived to Vancouver and was graciously greeted by Kate and her husband at the airport and given a mini tour of my new Vancouver "home" and its neighborhood, where I felt quite safe even walking in alone at night. Her condo - "Wow"!!! The view is remarkable and her décor is so clean and stylish! She provides so many little extras to heighten her guest's comfort and anticipated needs. On the counter was a bowl of fresh fruits and bagels as well as assorted hot drinks to be prepared and some deluxe chocolates were on the bed. She allows guests access to her Apple desktop and her landline for local calls. Oh, her bed is so heavenly comfortable - surely like sleeping on a fluffy cloud! Also, I tremendously enjoyed ordering a great take-out salad (try the ones at MEET in Gastown) one evening to savor while taking in the 32nd-floor, night-time city view and listening to my own music back at Kate's!
Lastly, I was so appreciative, esp with visiting the city solo, to have had the opportunity to spend extra time with Kate and her family my last evening in town as they are all exceptional and so warm and welcoming!! Surely, I was blessed to have found (I think!) one of the best Airbnb hosts in all of Vancouver!
