I had the best time in Vancouver, and Mark's place was a great spot to call a home base. Mark was very hands-off while still being responsive, even when I need to contact him at night - my plane landed late. On a separate occasion, there was a lot of noise coming from the upstairs, making it hard to sleep - Mark spoke to his neighbors and met with me in person the next day to make sure I was satisfied with the outcome. Mark made sure to share plenty of local recommendations and was really welcoming!
If there's one thing I can say about the location - I was visiting for a wedding and when I tried to order a cab to come pick me up, it took a whole hour and a half for someone to finally arrive! After calling two different agencies multiple times. Vancouver does not allow ride share services, so be mindful of that if you need to be anywhere by a certain time. There is a very convenient bus stop located right by the Airbnb though, and it's a pretty straightforward 45min walk to downtown!
