I felt welcomed with the entry light left on and the homemade cookies sitting on the counter. The home was exactly as the listing described -- surrounded be an enchanting garden and located in a lovely area. The rental space was extremely clean and comfortable. I was able to walk to many different locations. My most favourite destination was a Willow Tree park just two blocks away! Although I was able to see many different flowers blooming in the garden, I was disappointed that I missed blossoms on the incredible trees lining the street! This will definitely be my home away from home whenever I visit Vancouver! I'm looking forward to seeing the completed patio! I loved the backyard even when it was under construction.
