Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Kitsilano is a wonderful neighbourhood for walking, restaurants, coffee shops and most amenities for a visitor. Across the road from my house is the Arbutus Greenway, a converted rail right of way that extends six km for walking, biking, roller balding etc. It is ten minutes by bus from downtown or a half hour walk. It is only 20 minute walk from a lovely public market at Granville Island.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Kitsilano is a very trendy, yet comfortable area to live. There are so many restaurants, coffee bars, grocery amenities close by West 4th Ave the main attraction being only two books away. The beach and tennis courts are only fifteen minutes walk.Granville Island public market is a twenty minutes walk. There is very good bus service close to the house. Vancouver Museum, The Planetarium, and the Maritime Museum are all within an easy stroll. UBC with its famed Museum of Anthropology is only fifteen minutes by bus. You can stroll for over ten kms along the waterfront taking in False Creek, Olympic Village, Stanley Park and Coal Harbour ending up in downtown with Gastown and Chinatown minutes away. The North Shore Mountains (Grouse, Cypress and Seymour) are a twenty minute drive and open up wonderful hiking, amazing views and other attractions. No wonder Vancouver is rated the 5th most beautiful city in the world by the FlightNetwork website.
