From the time we booked the VRBO, Shawn was very welcoming and helpful. Shawn greeted us when we arrived. He answered many of our questions about the area and offered suggestions on places to see and places to eat.The VRBO itself is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. A lovely tin container of local chocolates awaits you upon arrival. The kitchen is equipped with ample dishes, cutlery, quality pots, small appliances, a dishwasher, a stove/oven, and a full-sized fridge. A variety of free streaming services were available on the TV. In addition, guests have their own protected outdoor sitting area with a little bistro table and chairs. This area is flanked by two ‘living walls’.The neighbourhood is beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed walking around and admiring the lovely gardens and interesting architecture. There are a few shops within a 3-minute walk. The bus service (a 3-minute walk) runs regularly to the north (downtown Vancouver) and southwest to a little neighbourhood on 41st Street called Kerrisdale, which has lots of shops and services.We would highly recommend Shawn’s VRBO, and we hope to stay there again someday. Thanks, Shawn, for facilitating to make our visit to Vancouver such a wonderful and memorable time.
