I stayed at Tina's place for two days and two nights. My trip was short but her place was above and beyond my expectations.
My travel party consisted of 6 adults and three children (6yrs, 3yrs, 6mo). Her place was perfect for us since we primarily used her place for quick rest breaks while exploring Vancouver and for bathing and sleeping at night. Tina had provided an air mattress for us. When inflated, it leveled perfectly with her couch. This allowed for the baby to sleep on the couch and myself and my oldest slept on the air mattress. Everyone else slept/used the three bedrooms on the second level.
The townhouse is nicely situated near public bus and subway lines. It was super easy to get to and from at any time of the day. We came by way of an Alaskan cruise and the port is about 4 or 5 block from the house. Tina had suggested using Porter Genie to pick up and deliver our luggage. Porter Genie is an amazing service. I highly recommend them as well.
There are plenty of restaurants to choose from. Restaurants, convenience stores, gelato, coffee shops, etc. are all walking distance from the house.
There were three people in my party that ran every morning. There is a big park that is a 5 minute walk from the house. The park allowed for uninterrupted running (no stop lights or crosswalks). Since it was quite warm during my stay, that same park had a huge water feature for my kids to play in.
Tina's instructions are very clear and easy to follow. She also responded quickly if I had any questions. During our stay, she checked in to make sure all was going well.
When getting to YVR airport on our last day, a couple of us took public transportation. An easy train ride. We opted to also call Yellow Cab because we had several large suitcases and we didn't want to lug them around on public transportation. We called Yellow Cab two days before our departure and they arrived on time. So some of us took the train and some of us rode in the cabs with the luggage.
I highly recommend this place and would love to stay there again!
