We stayed at Rachel and Paul's place in the Vancouver House for a month. The location of the apartment is absolutely ideal, a 5 min walk to the beach, countless coffee shops and central Vancouver, while being in a nice safe area. The apartment also has an amazing balcony with a fireplace that we used almost every evening. It is fitted with everything we needed to make our stay super comfortable, and Rachel and Paul were very responsive to all our questions and requests!! Could not recommend it more!!
