Amazing place. I came to Vancouver to participate in half marathon. Usually I make the assumption that photos on the website are a little bit touched up, but Cassidy's place is just as clean and beautiful as the photos depict. It is located about 15 minutes walk from downtown core and the neighborhood is very relaxing. since I was traveling light, I had no problems walking from the metro stop to Cassidy's place. that said her place is close to Davis Street which is a pretty happening place on its own. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés to visit. If you're a fan of coffee Cassidy will be happy to point you to a really cool café just three minutes walk away from her place.
Cassidy herself is a wonderful host. there was a slight mishap on my part during booking and she made sure that everything is settled for me. The check in process was smooth and she made sure I had everything I need. Leo her cat also made a wonderful company.
If there is one thing I have to be picky about Cassidy's place is around the light noise that could be heard from the above neighbor. It's not to say that they're loud and I absolutely had no problems with it but I could see how some may have challenges with these. To be clear they are minor noise that is naturally made when people walk on hardwood (I have similar problems in my condo myself). I consider myself a light sleeper and I had no problems sleeping without earplugs at her place. So this comment is just for awareness. In fact I believe Cassidy noted this potential challenge in her description.
That being said and overall, her place is one the best places that I ever stayed through Airbnb. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone (unless you are allergic to cats). In fact I'm pretty sure I'm going to look for her place next time I visit Vancouver for the run.
