I can't wait to welcome you to Vancouver and help you get the most out of your stay while you’re at my place. Whether you're a BC local, familiar with the area, or an international guest, my highly detailed guidebook has curated the best experiences, restaurants and bars nearby and will help you plan out your perfect trip. And, I'm always happy to personally assist with ideas for your stay or questions. Welcome to Vancouver! DOORBELL CAMERA: I have a doorbell security camera at the front entry door which only views the public hallway outside my unit (just as there are security cameras in our elevators), to discourage parties etc. BOATING: In the summer months or with enough notice, I offer my guests a discount on my top-rated yacht tour experience, if you'd like to see the city by water, or spend a day dining on one of Vancouver's nearby islands. I am a full licensed and Transport Canada certified charter captain. If booking for the summer months I would advised booking well in advance as the dates fill up very quick through other travel agencies, boat tour companies, and the hotels that use my service. FINAL NOTES: As Canada's warmest climate, Vancouver (like L.A. in the states for example, and many large urban cities), encounters a significant homeless population. The "Crosstown" area is right downtown and a very safe area, but you will most likely encounter someone who appears homeless or experiencing addiction issues or panhandling around the building. There is 24 hour security at our building that you can phone if there are any issues of concern. And if you are someone bothered by the sight of or interactions with these people, I would recommend looking at the Hotel Vancouver or one of the expensive hotels, although this issue does extend to all of downtown. Also, please bring your Costco card with you, as the Vancouver store is just across the street outside the back door (across from Rogers Arena)! EASTER EGGS! If you got this far, you may have guessed the theme for the images on the TVs ...they are all movies or TV shows filmed in Vancouver. In order: -Fifty Shades of Grey (filmed right outside my office) -Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (Tom Cruise, including the ending shot at Granville Island) -The Interview (James Franco and Vancouver's own Seth Rogan) -Deadpool 2 (Vancouver's own Ryan Reynolds; a main action sequence filmed on nearby viaducts) -Hot Tub Time Machine (John Cusack) -Elf (Will Ferrell) -The Twilight Saga (Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart) -Happy Gilmour (Adam Sandler) -The X-Files (My fav show growing up, and my freind was a PA to David Duchovny during a reboot)
