We had a wonderful time in Birute and Dennis' home. This was just my second experience with Airbnb, so I wasn't sure what to expect but was delighted with so many of the welcoming touches (wine, snacks) and with the well-stocked kitchen. Our hosts -- who were home upstairs during our visit -- were very friendly and welcoming. We loved the location that allowed us to walk everywhere: to the Inner Harbour, Cook Street's restaurants, Government Street, Chinatown, Beacon Hill Park and James Bay. The "stone's throw" proximity to Dallas Road and the Straight of Juan de Fuca was a huge plus, as were the views of Washington State's Olympic Peninsula mountains.
