Reviews
Kerstin from United States – 13 December 2024 (10/10)
This place was awesome! Super clean, modern, well-designed, and with great directions and support from the hosts! We used it after a concert at BC place and wow was that a great decision. Just a 5 minute walk and we beat the crowds! Plus had a place to park our car downtown. I left behind my airpods and the host went above and beyond to mail them back to me! All in all a great experience.

Perfect location for attending events at Rogers Arena / BC Place.

Everything and anything was provided at Jim's place. The property is in a perfect location walking distance to both the skytrain station and aquabus terminal. Ammenities also in walking distance and easy to find.
The flat itself is spotless and everything you need and more is provided. The flat is easy to find and the guide vidoes sent made checking in and parking an easy process.
Can't thank Jim and Naomi enough for our perfect stay in Vancouver. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!
