About Our Home
This comfortable condo is in one of the Woodwards Buildings, a Gastown landmark known for its amenities which include a penthouse fitness centre and lounge with stunning view, hot tub, sauna, and concierge. You're walking distance from great restaurants, seawall, skytrain station, and all that downtown Vancouver offers.
Special Considerations
Non-smokers only, please. And it would be great if you could water the plants on the balcony.

About Us
- I'm taking some time off for travel, and am looking forward to home exchange as a way to have unique experiences in different destinations.
- I've traveled in many countries, all styles, and for 16 years wrote for and managed the Family Vacations topic at a large website.
- I'm most interested now in staying in one place and getting into a local activity - yoga, language course, volunteering...
Personal Message
I love pets, and would be more than happy to take care of cats. (I love dogs too! But taking care of a dog needs a big time commitment so that would really depend on the circumstance.) Also, I've done the whole "house, yard, garden, kids, pets" thing :) so understand the importance of taking care of a place.. I also have a beautiful home on private acreage on Bowen Island (just a 20 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver) that could be available during summer.
