This was our first Airbnb experience and we really lucked out with Amy and her great downtown condo. Amy is awesome - she really is a wealth of knowledge on Vancouver and if you stay at her listing, she will provide a list of really great recommendations for the city. Her condo is exactly as described and pictured.
The location of her place is perfect with a BIG secured parking spot. I mention the space size as a lot of Vancouver listings make a note of mentioning "small car only". We drove up in a VW Touareg SUV and had no issues parking in her space. You will definitely keep your car parked as you can walk EVERYWHERE from Amy's condo. We did not use our car at all for the 4 days we spent in town. We walked to Gastown, Yaletown, West End, Stanley Park, Granville Market, etc etc. Also, grocery store, movie theater, liquor store one block away for convenience. For anyone looking to workout, there is a nice small gym on the ground floor with a couple treadmills, weights, etc as well. The whole building is secure so safety is a non-issue.
Amy- thanks again for your hospitality and great recommendations, we tried several. I'd mention them here but people need to rent your listing to get access to the good stuff in your email! ;-)
