I would highly recommend a stay at Lisa's apartment. She was very easy to communicate with both before and during our stay. Through no fault of her own, there was a delay in our ability to check in. She handled this graciously and efficiently. Realizing that this caused us some inconvenience, she showed up at the apartment with wine, bread, and goat cheese early that evening. A nice touch to make amends. The apartment itself is very clean and neat and nicely decorated in a minimalist fashion. There were several nice touches that were a notch above other Airbnb places I have stayed. There were fresh flowers in the bathroom and living area. The bath products were high quality. The linens, sheets, and towels were all very high quality. The location is in a nice treelined neighborhood that is quiet but with easy access to many areas within a 10-15 minute walk including Coal Harbor, English Bay beach, and Stanley Park to name a few. Try the Greenhorn cafe for coffee/ light breakfast right around the corner on Nicola St. A nice waterfront dinner or lunch can be had at Carderos at the end of Cardero St. Easy access upon arrival can be achieved by taking the Canada line train from the airport. Then it is a short walk or cab ride from there. Stay at Lisa's place. You won't regret it.
