My girlfriend (now fiancé) stayed with Tony at his beautiful place. Tony was very accommodating with our late night arrival, and able to let us in with ease and comfort after a long flight. We slept very comfortably and had access to our own closet that was perfect to share amongst two people.
The deck views from his place were phenomenal to wake up to with a hot cup of coffee. We planned our trip around not using a rental car. The transportation options and location were PERFECT. Walkable to Granville Island if you wanted to take a water taxi, easy to walk to bus stops, or a Translink train that was very walkable if you needed to load up a 'compass card' to works on all buses/trains/seabuses. The taxi service worked very well there, as well, and a simple call sets you up on a scheduled and accurate ride.
Tony was incredibly helpful with anything we needed, and even offered guidance, help and advice during casual conversations throughout the day when were both home.
I'm very glad and happy to have met Tony, and anytime I'm on vacation and tell my now fiancé that we should head "HOME" after a long day back to Tony's apartment - I think that says it all.
