Garden Paradise (Has an Apartment)

In this homestay, you don't just get a room... you will have the whole apartment all to yourself! I live in a 650-square-foot apartment in a beautiful and exciting area of Vancouver called "Mount Pleasant". I am on the ground floor, south facing, looking into the most beautiful garden -- I call it the Garden of Eden. My place is quiet and super bright, and inside it's like a silent retreat. There is a huge, shared back lawn at the back of my building, with tall trees providing cooling shade. When you go out the front doors of the building, however, you are one block from a hustling, bustling bee hive of fun activity. One block west and south is a huge, vibrant park which takes up several city blocks. One block east is Main Street with dozens of delicious, character restaurants and cafes to choose from. There is a Save-on-Foods grocery store, post office and dollar store in a mini-mall on the north-west corner of Main Street, also one block away. This is the hub of Vancouver, where you are 10 to 20 minutes from downtown, Kitsilano, Commercial Drive --all the happening areas -- and right in this happening area, "Mount Pleasant", a beautiful walking neighbourhood full of gorgeous, character homes. I am a certified English and French teacher, currently teaching on-line, and a yoga teacher (currently not teaching). We are intelligent and warm, and enjoy travelling, camping, healthy eating, keeping in shape, and enjoying life with friends and family. There is street parking on the street (14th Avenue, or Quebec Street). The place is tastefully decorated with live-wood furniture, and a modern white couch, which can convert into another queen-sized bed to sleep two additional people. There is a shared fridge in the kitchen and in the bedroom. There is a patio which greets the morning sun and a plethora of birds. I require a minimum of two days. No smoking or pets. Guests must be quiet and respectful of my neighbours, no loud partying. It is a very quiet building. Balance of payment is due on arrival.
