We loved Amanda's place. The location is great in laid back Kitsilano and it's easy to get downtown and other sights by car. For those with kids, there is a very nice playground in short walking distance. The flat is cozy and in great condition. Those hyper-sensitive to noise should be aware that steps from the upstairs flat can occasionally be heard, but for anyone with 'normal' noise tolerance it's no issue at all. Lastly, Amanda was a great host and very responsive and helpful with questions we had. We would stay at the same place again.
