Read More...We had a wonderful stay in Ethel and David’s large and comfortable home in lovely, quiet Shaughnessy. The pretty garden offered both shady and sunny seating and dining areas with a large BBQ. We were able to walk into Kerrisdale for groceries, coffee, cake and sushi. We swam in the nearby lido in Maple Grove Park. There is so much to do in Vancouver and the surrounding area that we were very pleased that our swop included a car exchange. We loved being able to cycle down the Arbutus Greenway to Granville Market. We enjoyed day trips to Squamish and Bowen Island. We had weekends in Tofino and Victoria. We had never swopped homes before and Ethel was very helpful and supportive before the exchange and clear instructions were left for us. Thank you very much for helping make our trip such a success.

Wonderful, large home, well furnished and landscaped to a high standard, in the leafy, upscale Shaughnessy district - one of Vancouver's finest. Beautiful, well appointed outdoor dining areas. Grand piano. Centrally located with the lively Kerrisdale shopping and cafe area a 5 minute walk away. Airport, beaches, University of British Columbia, Granville Island Market and City Centre are each 15 minutes away by car.
