Jill and Raymond rentals is a scam. Do not give them any money. Vancouver $100 for 2 bedroom with pictures and a lengthy description will be their craigs list ad; among ads for other cities. They promise a receipt. The email will be a bunch of letters at Gmail. They are pretty responsive and will try to convince you by having a contract that is bogus. Their English is poor and they do not take Credit Cards. BE CAREFUL! They say your deposit will be refunded upon departure so long as the apartment/rental is in the same condition. I recommend usung a vetted service and not craigslist. It is a good place to find leads, as many legit people and sites cross post their rentals w/ links to legit vacation rental sites.
Unfortunately, I had good luck other times in other countries & took another chance. I successfully rented places in a similar manner several times before and was fully satisfied (obviously NOT from Jill and Raymond rentals- a scam). This time I struck out.
I hope no one else falls for this. I'm very glad you didn't, Dan. In retrospect, my spidey sense knew better...
