You really have a bird's eye view of Vancouver harbor and North Vancouver. It is a constantly fascinating show. The apartment is really comfortable and their art is a pleasure to live with. She is a dedicated cook so the kitchen is well stocked and a great place to cook. The concierges were very helpful in getting us settled in. The location is incredible. If you are energetic you can walk the seawall practically from the front door. And it is easy to drive to anything you might want to visit. I would be happy to stay there again.

We had a wonderful exchange with Doug and Diane. We had very easy and continual communication prior to the simultaneous exchange. They were more than gracious in leaving many snacks on The counter and a clear list of what we could use from the fridge and pantry. The condo was very clean and comfortable and afforded excellent transportation by foot or bus to all of the attractions Vancouver has to offer. We had wished we could have reciprocated by providing a first meal/ snacks/ welcome package but our Mexican house is our second home and is normally a rental run by property managers. Nonetheless we hope they enjoyed their stay and felt comfortable and found the well provided kitchen to their liking. I should mention that I use a mobility scooter. Doug and Diane’s home provided an out of the way place to store and charge it and the hallways and elevators were more than large enough to accommodate it ( which is rarely the case in Europe). For those using mobility devices I should mention that Vancouver is probably the most accessible city I have ever visited. All buses had entrance ramps , a wide enough laneway to manoeuvre my scooter and a safe place to put it on the bus. On top of this, kudos to Vancouverites! Each time a bus arrived at our stop, even prior to entering the passengers lifted the accessible seats making room for the scooter and they moved out of the way. What a kind natured city!

Doug and Diane's place is a perfect base for a stay in Vancouver. A modern, spacious apartment with amazing views. It's so easy to get around and see all of the attractions. Doug was brilliant at communicating with us and we really loved our time in Vancouver. Thank you so much, a great swap :-)

Fabulous location to explore downtown Vancouver and Coal Harbour. The view of downtown and harbour could not be better. Variety of close by dining (book well ahead!), shopping and sights to investigate. We had a lovely visit and enjoyed a concert as well.
