Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
South Granville is right in the heart of Vancouver. Live like a local, but walk to all of the popular tourist sites. We live on a quiet tree-lined city street in the South Granville neighborhood. Mobi bike share locations a quick 3 min walk and buses to all of the major routes just one block away. Walk the seawall to Science World, Kits pool, Granville Island and Olympic Village or stroll down South Granville for some of the best shopping in the city.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Our house rules are pretty simple. We would like it left in the condition you came in. We have been renting our house with Sabbatical Homes for a few years now and it has been a great experience. We almost exclusively use Airbnb when traveling. We now realize that a home exchange is really the best way to experience another city. That said, we will always leave space but our house is our home. It is lived in. No smoking please, pets are negotiable, use of our car is also negotiable as well as an electric vespa and bicycles.
Pet care is optional, we have a lovely cat Howard...he is adorable and affectionate. It would be great if you could feed him and keep him company but not a deal breaker :)
