Nice city home close to town and nature
Quiet Kitsilano neighbourhood, yet close to shopping, restaurants and the beach with convenient access to city, mountains and ocean. Area has many parks and green spaces, bike paths, and transit.
Our house is a townhouse in a 4-plex with updated kitchen, bathrooms, and a small outdoor living space. We are two blocks from several shopping streets and only a 20 minute walk to English Bay and the beaches, as well as Granville Island. Downtown Vancouver is a short bike or bus ride away, or you can walk over the bridge. Whistler Mountain, site of 2010 Olympics is less than 2 hours by car and Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast are a quick ferry away. Excellent hiking, walking, water sports, beaches, all minutes away.
We have 2 bedrooms upstairs, both with queen sized beds. There is also a full bathroom on this level. The main level has kitchen, dining and living area and one half bathroom. Our home is suitable for one or two couples or a family with one child. We have a cat so our home is not suitable if allergies are a problem. Our cat and small garden that will need care but it's possible to leave her for a few days.

We had a wonderful time in Catalonia at Montse and Bill's place. Their beautifully restored stone house was large, comfortable, and well appointed. It was unlike anything we had stayed in before, a very unique experience. They met us in Barcelona, took us to their place and gave us a thorough tour before setting off to our home. They had lots of information about the area and Catalonia which we appreciated very much. The village was so picturesque and peaceful and the residents friendly and helpful. We made use of their recommendations for food and places to go and enjoyed exploring this very unique area. We kept in constant contact with them, giving and receiving additional information and experiences with them. When we arrived home we were greeted by a happy kitty and a sparkling clean home. Another great exchange for the memory books!
Excelente ubicación para visitar Vancouver y su región.
Maryse and Bernard's home in Nimes was a great place to stay and explore the area. The house is large and comfortable and the property is beautiful. It is close to shops and the bus line and easy to get in and out of if you want to go further afield. Everything was set up for us when we arrived and the instructions provided were accurate and clear. When we had questions they were quickly answered. Nimes is a beautiful historic town with lots to see and do. We especially liked the pool on hot days and the introduction to neighbours. We returned home to a clean house and a happy kitty. Francine & Rejean
Un bon échange pour des vacances inoubliables.

Our family consists of just the two of us now, Rejean and Francine. Our 2 adult children live close by, both are married and we have two grandchildren. We also have a cat. When we exchange the cat stays in the house. We are both retired, Rejean was a teacher of French to adults and Francine worked in Information Technology as a Project Manager. We love to travel and do home exchanges around the world. We find it a great way to get to know the people and the area. We like to visit places and experience great food, wine and culture.
