Happily retired couple with two grown daughters who live in the suburbs. We enjoy living in a bright, contemporary waterfront condo in a very walkable seawall area of Vancouver, so we remain moderately active, going to Stanley Park, English Bay, Granville Island or one of many other destinations. Public transportation (skytrain) is just a block away and trips across to other side of the water can be taken on a water taxi, so a car is definitely not necessary unless we plan to go great distances. We love to spend time with family and friends, especially while enjoying delicious food and a bottle of wine.

Barrio
Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
We feel our neighbourhood is perfect, both for residents and for travelers, as all amenities are close at hand. The 30 km long beautiful seawall invites everyone to walk, bike, or just sit and relax at the water's edge, also a great social area. As well, Aquabuses provide regular access to various areas on both sides of the water. There are so many restaurants that you would never have to cook if you choose not to. Granville Island is five minutes by water and Stanley Park is 1/2 hour walk. A complete skytrain/bus/seabus system is two short blocks away. Trains and Greyhound buses are 5 minutes away and will take you to other areas of the province. As I said, it is a perfect area to live in and to visit.

Nuestras preferencias
Lo qué nos gusta y lo qué no... Estas son nuestras preferencias y normas domésticas.
We prefer to stay in a one level apartment or home in the heart of the city where everything is accessible, including public transportation We do not offer our car for exchange. I have an allergy to animal dander, so we are unable to exchange with anyone who has pets, even if they are no longer in the house. We greatly appreciate the privilege of staying in your home and take great care to ensure it is well looked after, knowing you will care for our home in return. No smoking, no children. Noise by-laws in effect., subject to fines by our strata council.
