Tanguy and Ariel are very nice hosts. They were quick to respond to any of our questions and even saved us a parking space in front of the apartment. The apartment provides easy access To the Olympic Park and the downtown area, there was a park nearby that my husband was able to do his daily run at. The apartment was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We did drive downtown a few times and it was a quick easy drive but we did find that street parking can be hard to find although we did find street parking a few times at meters and garage parking will costs about 25 American dollars for the day. We did not try to take public transportation but I saw that it was right nearby. It was a very short drive from the apartment to the Olympic park where you can park all day for $12 and enjoy the various attractions there such as the botanical gardens, the stadium, the planetarium and the biosphere ( currently under construction for a remodel ) . Tanguy has an amazing shower installed in the apartment with great water pressure
