Hello, we are Luisa and Ivan we were recently expending five days in Vancouver B C. we stayed at Elaine and Mike’s house where they have this beautiful basement apartment for rent as Airbnb accommodation. The apartment is as describe, it has all the facilities that we needed for our stay there. Elaine was a very welcoming person and she was ready to help us with any question that we may had had, we did not have the chance to meet Mike and Callum, but there is not doubt that they are as ready as Elaine to be there for their tenants. Before we confirm and agreed with Elaine our final decision to stay there, she sent us some clear and helpful details related to our displacement from the airport especially because we have arrived at 22:30. Once there, we took the public bus to go to the city downtown. It takes 20 minutes from the apartment to there, which we found perfect. It takes about three minutes to walk to McGill street where one can buy at the McGill grocery store a day compass ticket, use for buses and the sky train it cost 10.25 dollars. By the way it is attended by his owners Harry, Charles and Peter three helpful and kind gentlemen. Right there one can take the bus number 4 to UBC (University of British Columbia) to come back the same number 4 to Powell. We thought it was to limit the possibility of one bus’s route, but we found out that there are other options to go to downtown and come back by bus if we walk to the main hasting avenue (about 15 o 17 minutes) there are the 14, 16 and 95 a bit further is the number 7 in Nanaimo street. We took twice a taxi which cost about 20 dollars plus 5 dollar the tips. In resume it was a good experience staying at Elaine and Mike’s place, we highly recommend it.
Luisa and Ivan.
