Izabela goes out of her way to make you feel welcome in her stylish apartment, decorated with self-painted pieces and the bed was comfortable, clean and cozy. The key highlights are Izabela herself and her warm heart - whether it being a cup of hot coffee/brekkie in the morning left out for you even when she has left for work; advice on where to visit in Vancouver (I had come with no fixed itinerary, but it worked well as I left Vancouver feeling like I have seen its key treasures outside the typical "Capilano suspension bridge" and "Grouse Mountain"); and always responsive to answering questions - I secured this booking >6 months in advance, and she was happy to respond to my queries in between several times to appease my anxiety on visiting Vancouver/need to find a new place in case she was not around/flexible check-in/out time. Lastly, this place is well located - next to the Stadium-Chinatown station/connect to YVR Canada line (i.e. airport via Waterfront station), within walking distance to many local spots and the T&T supermarket downstairs (opens from 8.30am-10pm).
