Read More...This was an excellent base from which to explore Vancouver. The house was in a lovely area and the proximity to the forest was fantastic. We enjoyed several cycle rides and walks here. The house is spacious and modern and the highlight was the visit by the humming bird at the kitchen window each morning. John and Daphne made us feel very welcome.

Read More...Nous avons beaucoup aimé cet échange : Totalement conforme à l'annonce, la maison était très propre, très agréable, pourvu de tous les équipements prévus, et idéalement située à Vancouver, dans un quartier très calme. Un plaisir de voir les oiseaux de toute race se poser dans le jardin ! L'accueil et les différents contacts ont été très simples et très agréables. Sans aucune réserve, membres de grande qualité et un échange à faire ! We loved this exchange: Fully compliant with the promise of the website ad, the house was very clean, very pleasant, provided all the facilities provided, and ideally located in Vancouver, in a very quiet neighborhood. A pleasure to see birds of all breeds arise in the garden! The reception and the various contacts were very simple and very pleasant. Without any reservation, high quality members and to make an exchange! Sophie et Loïc.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
HOMELINKING SINCE 2004.
We are looking forwards to travelling again. Our preferences would be for France, southwestern England, New Zealand and Australia. However, we love Europe and would be interested in exchanges there, or in Chile. Since we are retired (retiring) we can travel in months beyond July and August.
We live minutes from a park of rainforest, the University of BC (www.ubc.ca), swimming, the beach & easy access to mountains & hiking. It's a quiet neighbourhood for a city, but with very easy access to all the city has to offer. A 10-minute walk to a large selection of neighbourhood cafes, restaurants and shopping
(www.tourismvancouver.com/visitors/ and http://www.hellobc.com/vancouver.aspx). The city centre is about 15 minutes away by car, and 30 minutes by transit. Twenty minutes from Vancouver airport (www.yvr.ca) and 30 minutes to whale-watching and seaside restaurants. A good central location for visits to Whistler, Seattle and Vancouver Island.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is primarily single family homes, within a block of transit buses into the city. Pacific Spirit Park is a block away and has 10s of km of walking trails there. The beaches are a little over 1 km away. Shopping and restaurants are about 6 blocks away. We are close to the University of British Columbia, either 5 minutes by car, 12 minutes by bicycle, or 40 minutes walking.

The University of British Columbia has the Museum of Anthropology and other attractions, not far from us. Downtown Vancouver is less than 15 minutes by car or about 25 by bus. There are restaurants and shopping within 6 blocks of the house. Lots of parks and forest nearby.
