Ellen and Juan's place was wonderful! It is in a nice quiet neighborhood near a cute little park that is within walking distance. The space itself was very clean, open, and cozy. A thoughtful snack along with several Vancouver guide books and personal recommendations from the hosts made us feel right at home! The bed was comfortable and they have tea and a French press for coffee.
Several windows provide lovely natural light, helping it to not feel like the basement apartment that it is, however children running around on the hardwood floors above our heads early in the morning brought us back to reality on that front. Luckily we are early birds and were not woken too much earlier than we would have otherwise been.
Overall we had a fantastic time at Ellen and Juan's space and would love to come back again!
