I stayed at the Garden Suite for 5 weeks and it was perfect for me. The suite itself has everything that you would need and I appreciated that everything is really well maintained and nicely decorated. Rasha is a great host - she is very friendly and always answered any query (no matter how small) in person or by email really quickly and was also happy to make suggestions for things to do in the area. The suite is in a great spot for making the best of Kitsilano - really good food shops around and brilliant public transport links to go downtown or pretty much anywhere you like. I spent most of my time in Kitsilano which is a great area to hang out in. Great host. Great apartment. Great area.
