This was my first time with airbnb, when I checked out Helens photos I was really drawn to such a tasteful and carefully considered home, and when I saw the pic of Gypsy Boy, I thought, what a bonus. Helen picked me up from the Sky Train station which was great, as it had been a long flight, everything was how I’d pictured it, quiet tree lined streets with Heritage houses and gardens.

I had booked Helens Mini Tour for my first day, it was so good to get a comprehensive snap shot of Vancouver in just three hours, from the busy sites of Gastown and the central tourist hub, to creative Granville island, then on to lush Stanley Park, of course that was just the tip of the iceberg, there was so much more I saw in that time, enough to set me up to revisit places of special interest in the coming days.
This Mini Tour is such good value, you can take either two or three hours, I highly recommend it.
Helen knows Vancouver very well so as we drove, more ideas and info emerged, like catching a float plane to Victoria, the Capital of B.C. that was another memorable day for me. Helen is a kind hearted person and easy to talk to, and will go the extra mile for her guests. Remember to set your alarm before you get into the new memory foam bed otherwise you could over sleep!!

Thank you Helen and Gypsy Boy, your caring and fun nature topped off a fabulous holiday. David
