I travelled from Edmonton to Vancouver to get away from our cold winters. Geraldine’s place worked so well for me. I also had my sister and then a friend stay with me for some of the time. The house is located in an amazing location in a beautiful residential area just blocks from the beaches. We went on long walks to the beaches, to Granville Island, shopping down 4th Avenue, and to Pacific Spirit Park. There are plenty of good restaurants about and many coffee shops. My favorite was Caffe W on Broadway. The kitchen is well equipped and came with a few basics that helped us out. The beds are comfortable. The washer and dryer are shared but were available when we needed them. The house is far enough away from 4th Avenue that we did not hear traffic noises. This is a basement so there was some noise from above but did not affect us. I expected that this would be a good stay but it was truly exceptional.
