Joy is aptly named -- she is truly a wonderful, JOY-ous host with infectious energy! She was so kind, helpful and fun. I loved staying in her beautiful coach house. It is so beautiful, comfortable and fully equipped with all you may need. It is right in Joy's backyard and I felt super safe there. It is in the BEST location in town (Strathcona rules -- close to Chinatown, Railtown, Gastown, etc). Make sure you stay with Joy next time you visit Vancouver. She's a true gem :)
