Ønsker

Hvad kan vi lide eller ikke lide. Her er vores ønsker og boligregler

We are an adult home and not suited for children (it is not childproof). We would like the house to look just as we left it. One of us is VERY allergic to cats, & fur animals.
I prefer you do not use my Mother's Royal Dolton china dishes in the sideboard. There are many dishes in kitchen area.
We prefer eating is done in the kitchen/ dining room/ outside and the Den/ not in the living room.
We will leave a booklet outlining our house and equipment with who to call and a friendly neighbour to ask any questions you may have.
Relax and enjoy all that Vancouver has to offer.
Note: If Car exchange is used, it will incur a cost from our BC insurance plan to cover out of province drivers.
