General overview
A bright and quiet apartment in a highrise next to downtown Vancouver overlooking the beautiful mountains and city, our home has all of the amenities and two full bathrooms. Ideal for a couple, as we normally use the second bedroom as an office, though it is possible to open the couch up for a queen-size bed. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed with a Tempur-pedic mattress.
It is located in your favourite part of Vancouver - the West End. One block north, you have Robson Street. Five short blocks south, it is Davie Street. Three blocks west, you meet Deman Street. And five blocks east, you are on Burrard Street.
English Bay beach, Stanley Park, and Coal Harbour are all within 5 to 10 minutes walk.
It is spacious for a couple.
The space
It is a 2-bedroom apartment but prefer exchanging with a couple without kids.
Guest access
The entire 2-bedroom, 2-full bathroom suite, or depending on what we are exchanging, it's possible that we use the smaller second bedroom as storage, though it's still accessible to you.
Notes
Our major travel plans are mostly finalized for 2024. We may consider some more local short exchanges. However, please help us plan for 2025!
We do not have a Television at home. We have two desks for those who need to work a bit during your stay, and we have fibre-optic internet, so the speed is fast for your stream subscriptions.

Neighbourhood
Yes, you CAN have it all. Our home has the best of the two worlds: City and Nature.
West End is the best part of Vancouver. It is downtown, yet it is so close to Stanley Park.
A lot of restaurants, shops, and grocery stores are all around our home.
Based on millions of reviews submitted to TripAdvisor, Stanley Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America, is awarded ‘top park in the entire world’, beating out New York’s Central Park and the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. You are close to bike paths, the walkways, the seawall, the grass, the flower beds, and the rose gardens. And you look just beyond that and suddenly the temperature changes, the forest floor changes, you’ve got tree stumps, the totem poles, you’ve got woods and fir trees... And you’re into a forest.
Getting to my home
From the airport, it's a set price CAD$37, 30-minute cab ride.
You can also use public transit.
Nearest airport
YVR, from there you can take a cab for about CAD$37.50 (At the airport, they have posted fixed price), or you can take a Skytrain to the City Centre Station), a short ride of bus #5 will take you to our home.
Getting around
It's possible to exchange cars (We have a 2016 Subaru Forester). But honestly, you just want to walk downtown, on the seawall, or in Stanley Park. There are buses #5, #6, and #21 in the neighbourhood and Skytrain to anywhere else. There are also AquaBus to Granville Island.

tim and kemila/s place was all that i wished for and more! itś on the 8th floor and i loved the balkoney. since i traveld all alone there place was so big that i never used the secend room and there second bathroom. there place was the perfect place to relax after a day out in nature or in vancouver. the location was exellent, in the middle of west end and just steps away from sooooo many great eating places. just a short walk, 20 min i think and you will be on stanley park or on the waterfront. they left great tips and directions. i also exchanged cars and boy was i luckey! mine car is a fiat 500 for thereś very big car! i loved driving it. everything was clean and bright! house and car. i loved mine vancouver home for 5 weeks! again, dream exchange! ohh theu also left me a travel card and i could use timś bike communitation was very good. they are also very nice peolple to talk with, we had lunch together before the exchange and a whats app video chat before and after the exchange. -
The home is situated in a quiet residential street, a block away from the restaurants and close to the Stanley park entrance. It was the perfect base to explore Vancouver. The spacious condo has a queen size master bedroom and a guest bedroom has an office desk and a pull out bed couch. We used the espresso machine every morning. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook, and there are two major grocery chains within 2 blocks. We didn't have to cook because the restaurants in the area were so good! There are no TV's or computer monitors in the condo so we brought our portable monitors to attach to our laptops. We didn't have any issues as the neighbors are quiet. We would absolutely stay at Timila's home again. -
A fabulous apartment in one of the nicest neighborhoods of vancouver. It is perfectly located downtown, very central, close to wonderful restaurants and the sea is not too far of a walk down the street. We absolutelly loved everything about it and are very grateful to have made this exchange! -
What a wonderful exchange! This was just a long weekend getaway for us, but it was perfect. The apartment is silent so we slept well and we started each morning with a walk in Stanley Park (just beside the front door) and coffee and a treat from an amazing coffee shop just a couple blocks over. We didn’t use our car at all as we explored downtown Vancouver all in walking distance. We even took in a Vancouver Canucks hockey game and were able to walk to Rogers Arena. The restaurants in the neighbourhood are exceptional with incredible variety for every budget. A perfect weekend! Thank you!
