Before and during the exchange, the communication was perfect and they tried to help us everytime they can. Moreover, Vancouver is such a wonderful city to visit and people are very nice. Thank you so much Carolyn and Temple, it was a great pleasure!!

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
As with everyone, our 2020 exchanges were cancelled due to the pandemic. We look forward to exchanges as soon as possible, especially in Paris, a city we long for once again, or Bordeaux. We are also interested in Spain and in Denmark. We are always open to alternative destinations in Europe, including Christmas exchanges. We do enjoy the urban lifestyle, so our preference - though not exclusively - is for larger cities and towns.
Our third floor, fully-renovated, very bright apartment with all modern conveniences and a large private patio is right in the heart of Vancouver's vibrant downtown West End. It has a comfortable and quiet master bedroom with ensuite shower room plus a den/office/guest room and second full bathroom. Recently renovated with all new appliances and including a separate in-suite laundry room. While our recommendation is for two people only, the den/office has a fold-out sofa-bed, suitable for one extra person, particularly a teenager. Our computer is equipped with WiFi for internet access, and our entertainment system includes three TVs, a 55" wall-mounted Smart TV in the living area, and smaller wall-mounted models in the master bedroom and den. All are linked together with a 'Gateway' PVR system which allows shows recorded on any one TV to be viewed on every other. The 'Smart' system links the main TV directly to the internet at the push of a button, to provide access to such things as Netflix and YouTube. The building itself is well-maintained, with a daytime caretaker, and has a well-equipped exercise room, sauna, a games room with ping-pong and social room. There is a lovely ground floor garden with Muskoka chairs around a table around which a small group may chat with a glass of wine. If you google 'Eleven Eleven Haro Street, Vancouver, B.C.', you should find an agent's YouTube presentation about the building itself. It is worth noting that the building by-laws do allow home exchanges.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Our neighbourhood is one of the oldest in Vancouver, a great mix of young people, families, and seniors right in the centre of the city. Stanley Park with its lagoon, seawall walk and gardens is a standout attraction, and is within walking distance. There are beaches all around False Creek, high-end shopping and restaurants along Robson Street, a more funky Davie Street and the neighbourly Denman Street each a pleasant walk away. Also a short walk away are the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Orpheum Theatre for the Vancouver Symphony, the
famous Commodore Ballroom, B.C Place Stadium and the new Vancouver Public Library complex, plus the whole downtown shopping and business district. Historic Gastown is also accessible by foot and Granville Island with its market, restaurants, marina and artsy shops is a walk and a ferry ride away.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
From our house you will have access to all that any large city has to offer, but the West End of Vancouver is unique in that it is a pocket of neighbourliness in the heart of urban life. The abundance of trees and greenery, parks and public recreation, beaches and wonderful walks as well as the celebrated Stanley Park is juxtaposed to libraries and concert halls, underground shopping malls and high end international shops, art galleries and a large number of restaurants offering a range of international cuisine. All this within a short stroll of our
home, plus bakeries, grocery stores, delicatessens and specialty chocolate shops with a multitude of small coffee shops where one can sit and enjoy the passing parade. Our tree-lined street is well tucked away and without through traffic so it is an oasis of calm amid the city's bustle. All the options for public transit are close by. At close of day, sit on our large north-facing patio with a glass of excellent B.C. wine.
