We had a great time at John's place. We appreciated the very specific instructions on how to access the house, since I especially am directionally challenged! We also really loved how there were maps and brochures for all of the things that one might want to do in Vancouver, including the transit system. John had transit passes that he let us use, which was great! The location was great--walking distance to cool restaurants, stores, and bus stops. Parking was never an issue, as there was almost always a spot available across from the house or just around the corner. Everything was clean and it seemed like John anticipated everything that a traveler might need or want. John was always really easy to get into contact with and very friendly and pleasant! Overall it was a great experience and we would stay there again if we get a chance to get back to Vancouver!
