They were very friendly and welcoming. We felt right at home. They were very generous with items in the pantry. The house was clean and well decorated. The house also has a ton of books; looking around gave me inspiration for books I want to read in the future. The neighborhood felt lively but safe. Per Catherine's suggestion, we went to Lynn Canyon Park instead of Capilano Suspension Bridge, saving us tons of money. Catherine was always quick to respond to messages.
