Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our house is a garden suite of a 4-plex in a quiet residential neighbourhood (Mount Pleasant) of Vancouver. It is located within a 5 minute walk of public transit and shopping and close to downtown. The suite is approximately 900 sq. ft with a fireplace, open concept kitchen/dining/living room, and in-suite laundry. French doors in the living room open onto a private patio and there is a second entrance to the laneway in the guest room. The guest room is currently used by our daughters (two single beds). We have a queen size air mattress and comfortable couch/sofa for extra guests. There is a free parking spot available off the laneway, but we use the local car-share, transit, and our bikes (which would also be available for use during the swap).

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in a quiet neighbourhood, yet trendy Main Street is a short walk and downtown easy to access by transit or bike. Mount Pleasant has a WalkScore of 95 and a Bike Score of 85, so we don't own a car. There are great parks and playgrounds just a few minutes walk from our house. The beach, tennis, kayaking, public swimming pool are just a bike ride away, while hiking and skiing can be reached using transit. BC Place, Rogers Arena, the Vancouver Art Gallery and other cultural attractions are a couple of stops away on the Canada Line, if you aren't interested in walking or biking.
