What a wonderful experience! Our family of five, including three children, truly enjoyed this home. It was centrally located in a great neighborhood, with easy access to all the activities we chose to do. Matthew was very communicative, and responded to our texts very quickly. He went out of his way to accommodate our needs.
The home was very clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. The rooms were a perfect size, the beds extremely comfortable with many drawers for our clothing, the bathroom was spotless and the kitchen fully stocked. We enjoyed many homemade meals at the dining table, and thoroughly enjoyed game nights and downtime in the living room with the very cool movie screen/projector. We even played golf in the backyard on the putting green.
We always found parking in front of the house, and were able to shop for groceries at the nearby Buy Low grocery store (which has free parking right behind the store). Everything we needed was close by. The airport was a very short drive away from the house, which was great, with our very late-night arrival time and early-morning departure.
During our Vancouver adventure, we enjoyed a Canucks game at Rogers Arena; the amazing Science World Museum - the kids (and adults) thoroughly enjoyed it, as it was very interactive; Capilano Suspension Bridge decorated in lights; a beautiful, easy hike down to the lighthouse at Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver, which boasted an incredible sky-meets-sea view and amazing sunset; the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park, which was truly enjoyable with so many unique animals we’d never seen; one day skiing on Grouse Mountain, followed by a welcomed meal at Pawans Indian Kitchen in North Vancouver (excellent food and ambiance); a day trip via BC Ferries to Victoria on Vancouver Island, leaving from the Tsawwessen Terminal where we caught a one hour public bus directly into downtown Victoria to see the Royal British Columbia Museum, enjoy gelato, souvenir shop and take in the lovely lights and sights; and lastly, we walked the famous Seawall around gorgeous Stanley Park, had some yummy food truck treats in the Park, and finished with a visit to the bustling and exciting Granville Island Market, where we enjoyed a lovely dinner and window shopping.
Vancouver has the most friendly people, incredible scenery, indoor and outdoor activities and delicious food. Matthew’s home was the perfect oasis to return to after each adventure. We slept comfortably and felt safe and secure every day and night. I highly recommend this home. Enjoy Vancouver!
Mahalo (thank you) Matthew!
