We had a great stay at Marina's place. The highlight for us was the location. Vancouver is a very big city so we found it invaluable being just a few minutes walk from the large Commercial Broadway Sky Train station - this is one of the main stations within the city and made it easy to get anywhere we needed to go with the strong train and bus links from Commercial Broadway. We loved being close to the John Hendry Park too - it's great for running and there's a brilliant farmer's market on Saturday morning's throughout the summer. Marina was a great host and answered all our questions immediately. The apartment itself was comfy and had everything we needed. It is part of the main house so you can hear each other - this didn't bother us at all though and we were never kept awake or woken up through the night. Would definitely recommend this place and we'd stay again ourselves.
