My wife, our toddler, and I stayed at Marlin's Homer St. apartment for a week during our trip to Vancouver in early November. She was very easy to work with and quick to communicate. The apartment was clean, stocked with kitchen and bathroom basics, and very comfortable. The balcony provided a nice view, the neighbors were generally quiet, and the building itself was clean, nice, and secure. The location of the place was great, with only a short walk to tons of great restaurants (e.g., in Yaletown, the food at The Parlour was amazing), the train to the airport, a supermarket, and other attractions. When we decided to rent a car for a couple days to explore more (we recommend the UBC campus area, Grouse Mountain, and Granville Island; plus Gas Town is within walking distance) we found a car rental place one block away, and Marlin helped us with using parking in the building, which was very convenient. Overall, the apartment, location, host, and total experience was wonderful and we recommend it to anyone.
