I am a freight forwarder and Erwin is a property manager. I am 50 and Erwin is 59. We have always been avid travellers. Travelling has became much more comfortable and enriching in the last 8 years with home swapping . After 19 swaps in the U.S. and Europe (thru this website and homexchange.com), we simply cannot go back to hotel living.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
We have a bright well laid out (750 sq foot /70 sq meter )1 bedroom flat. There are several large trees that encourage bird life to come visit us on a regular basis. They also gives us a fair bit of privacy in a busy city. Please note we are on the 3rd floor of a 3 FLOOR WALK UP.(circa 1950 building) 28 steps to the top. Not suitable if you have mobility issues.
The flat faces northwest so you look at the mountains, West Vancouver and the down town from the living room.
Dont' worry about pet care. We have 2 free flying budgies who go visit their friends at a local bird sanctuary while we are away. We gladly take care of your pets though and have done so in past exchanges.
The flat can accommodate 3 persons since we have an ottoman-bed(BoConcept) that can be set up in the living room for 1 person. Measures 81x27x27( LWH /inches) .

10 minute walk west takes you to South Granville where Pottery Barn , Restoration Hardware and gallery row resides. Walk 10 minutes east of us and you are at Broadway/City Hall skytrain Station , Whole Foods,Starbucks London Drugs and other daily amenities.
You can take Broadway /City Hall skytrain to downtown in 6 minutes. Or walk across the street and take the no 17 bus and be there in 10 minutes. Check out www.translink.ca for transit details to get to top spots like Stanley Park , Queen Elizabeth Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge and the various beaches in and around the city.
It is 10 minute walk to the seaside greenway/seawall (Charleson Park). Grab a ferry if you want to see the city on the water. There are 2 companies who do the runs. http://www.granvilleislandferries.bc.ca/schedule.htm and http://theaquabus.com/
