Joy is a perfect host and her house is very cozy. It is a small house located in the backyard of her own house, but you have total privacy. Entrance is from the lane (back street), so take that into account if Google Maps sends you to her house door instead.

The house was very clean. We were 4 people, both the bed and the sofa bed are very comfortable. Joy left coffee, tee, milk, snacks and more food. There is a lovely porch where you can enjoy your breakfast in a sunny morning.

The neighborhood is very quiet, but you can go walking to Chinatown and find a lot of delicious restaurants. It is also easy to find a taxi (we used the Yellow Cab Vancouver app, since Uber is banned). We left our car in the lane.

We really enjoyed our time in Vancouver and totally recommend Joy's house.
