My wife and two grown children enjoyed a wonderful 3 days in Vancouver staying at Marina's place. She was very helpful answering all of my questions before our trip about transportation and location of the grocery store, drug store and restaurants. In spite of having tenants the night before our arrival, she made sure the cleanup was completed quickly so that we could check in ahead of the normal 3pm which was very much appreciated.
We selected this house because of its proximity to the Joyce Collingwood train station and also because of the closeness of the Safeway grocery. We had a rental car since we arrived by cruise ship, had a lot of luggage and had a very early departure from YRC so we also used it to drive to Stanley Park one day and to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park another. We took the Sky Train to the airport from the downtown cruise terminal to get our rent car and that was very simple and cheap, about $11 CAD.
We were intending to use the bus and train to get to Stanley Park and Capilano but when we determined that parking would not be a problem, we decided to drive. We found this location to be very convenient being about a 30 minute drive from downtown/Stanley Park, north Vancouver and from the airport.
It was very clean, had all the necessities in the kitchen if you want to eat in and was a great value pricewise. We would definitely recommend it and will try to stay here again the next time we get to Vancouver.
