Great stay
Visiting for family trip. The apartment was very comfortable, nice walkable neighborhood with many grocery and restaurant choices. Apartment is quiet and well appointed. If you have a car, I suggest you take Barb up on her offer to get a parking permit, it just makes it so much easier and less stressful. Barb was very helpful with tips about the city that added to our great vacation. We would stay here again for sure.

Lovely home and wonderful location
My family and I stayed here for 6 days and had a great time. There is a grocery store nearby with friendly staff where we sent our teenager shopping, a park with play structure and trails, a large, fully-featured community indoor swimming pool, and easy access to transit (need a transfer to Skytrain though). Salina was very helpful, courteous, and quick to respond to our questions. We would highly recommend this stay to others!

Apartment by the park
The property is in a great location close to cafes, grocery shops and parks. Unfortunately we found parking on the street close to the property difficult and had to move our car frequently in order to comply with parking regulations. Salina was very helpful in terms of making sure we had access to the shared laundry and was a great host.

Wonderful!!
We had a wonderful time staying at Salina’s property. We were in Vancouver (from Chicago) to drop off our daughter who is starting at UBC. The property was perfect on all levels. It was clean and cozy and welcoming. Salina was more than accommodating and responsive to all my questions. She even let me ship a few packages to the address before our stay. The location couldn’t be beat in its proximity to Main Street shops and restaurants and it is about 15 mins from the University. We loved going to the park and got day passes to the rec center gym, (also has a pool and ice rink). This was a bittersweet trip for us because we left our daughter but it really helped to be in a friendly and comfortable environment. Thank you Salina for everything! You are a sweet and wonderful hostess!!

Quiet neighborhood, lovely Salina
Enjoyed my conversations with Salina, lovely lady! Also enjoyed her adorable little dog! Location a bit further away from touristy stuff then I realized. Queen Elizabeth park and a short walk to Breka bakery cafe was great. Cleaning lady was a no show so Salina did some cleaning. She was gracious to let us check in early, which was super helpful. The bathroom shower looks amazing but floor was slippery and pressure so so. The primary bedroom would benefit from a lower bed and repositioned under the window to make room to get in on both sides of the bed. Overall, great hostess, nice quiet location and great natural light in the main living area, good tv and wifi.

Hiccup on Early Check-in But Very Accomodating
We had arranged well in advance for an early check-in, arriving with luggage on the shuttle from Whistler. Unfortunately the owners were caught off-guard by previous guests who did not check out on time. We called ahead to confirm it was still ok to arrive and there was some confusion. Salina & Adam were gracious about allowing us to come to bring our luggage while we were waiting for the cleaning. They treated us to a bottle of wine for the inconvenience and were very attentive during our stay. The VRBO is in a great area by the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Park, on a quiet street with funky vintage shops and cafes nearby. Thank you for all the fresh towels and supplies to make our stay comfortable.
