Matthew's place was a new experience for me. I usually get an entire place to myself, but thought I would try getting a room in someone's house for once. As it turned out, it was quite enjoyable. The place was comfortable, and we had use of his entire house. An added plus is his wonderful cat named Merlin who visits frequently. Matthew also had a large collection of brochures and coupon books for various attractions in the area. I was a bit nervous about parking my rental car on the street, so Matthew let me use his spot in the underground garage. If you visit Vancouver, I highly recommend Matthew's place given it's price, location, amenities, and especially the welcoming hospitality.
