Beskrivning av hemmet vi erbjuda att byta bort
** We are planing to be in the UK for most of April and May of 2024 and are interested in 2-3 week exchanges (or more!) in various locations, including London.
We live in a lovely heritage townhome in Vancouver's oldest neighbourhood of Strathcona. Two bedrooms upstairs (one is used as an office and has a pull-out sofa) and another bedroom with bathroom in the basement. On the main floor is the living room and kitchen. There is a little patio out front for drinking morning coffee or having a glass of wine at the end of the day. We have very friendly neighbours and a children's water park across the street. We are a 20 minute walk to historic Gastown, 30 minute walk to downtown & a 15 min drive to beaches. We are on a bicycle route and the local bike-share has a rack just down the block where you can borrow bikes for a small fee.
Vancouver is a beautiful city of beaches and giant rainforest trees.
In winter there are two local ski-hills and a 2hour drive to world-class skiing in Whistler. Vancouver has wonderful entertainment, restaurants, and museums. Close to the Rockie Mtns (1 hr by plane), Vancouver Island (30 min by plane, 1.5 hr by ferry) and a 2 hour drive to Whistler skiing. Lots to explore! Note: We have one well-behaved cat that needs feeding & watering.

Våra tips om platser att gå och saker att göra när du bor i vårt hem
Within a block of our house in three directions are little corner store/delis where you can get small groceries and good coffee/lunches, http://unionmarket.ca/ and http://wildersnail.net/products.html. Two parks, each a block away, one with a water park for children and the other with skateboard park, and community gardens.
Roliga kaféer och barer
Vad vi gillar, vad vi inte gillar ... Här är våra preferenser och husregler.
We are both retired academics and our daughter lives in Liverpool, UK so we are open to offers anywhere in the UK to travel to after visiting her in mid-March to the first week in April 2024. We would love to spend a week or two around London, but we plan to be in the UK until the end of May so are open to traveling just about anywhere.
We enjoy traveling, but have not been on many exchanges in the last 5 years due to an elderly parent, and then Covid. But we have kept our Homelink membership active since we love to dream of different adventures. We are open to all offers.
We have an elderly cat who needs food and water and likes some attention. If you come in the spring/summer we may need you to water our small front garden. And we have fabulous neighbours who will make you feel at home.
