Kathy made our stay feel very welcome right from the moment we stepped into the apartment. We had a welcome baskets with local cheese and wine, even homemade bread and jam which we really enjoyed and a chance to try something local straight away. The thought of getting us to try the local produce and the heart that has gone into making the items by hand that had touched us. We find lots of consideration was given in the apartment, the quality of the fixtures and beddings that made us feel luxurious and comfy, beach towels in case we need to head to the beach, books that has introductions to Vancouver and high speed Wifi. There is full kitchen facilities and utensils so we are able to make meals feeling right at home, recommendations to nearby restaurants which we did try and enjoy, (skin-sensitive) detergents in case we have skin irritation when we wash our clothes, also saving us time to find a supermarket for detergent or laundromat. There is quality shampoo and conditioner so we don't have to worry if we have brought enough for our entire trip. The apartment itself is quiet and has lots of privacy, own entrance and the suburb has leafy tree lined streets with friendly neighbors where we feel completely safe. We would stay with Kathy again and recommend this apartment to all.
