Elana and Claudio's place was perfect for our weekend trip to Vancouver. The bed was comfortable, reliable wifi, nice shower, and a back deck! We didn't really use the kitchen, but it seemed well-equipped. The location is great. Strathcona is a really cute neighborhood with lots of character, and is a good walking distance to downtown. I did not drive my car at all. We loved the book of recommendations, and the extra touches around the place. Very cool renovation of a historic property. Check-in was super easy and Claudio and Elana live right around the corner, if you need anything (we didn't!) If you do walk downtown, I recommend taking the neighborhood streets.
