The room that Allen let us stay in has all the privacy and amenities of a hotel room but with the bonus of knowing that Allen has obviously put a lot of thought into how to make a stay for his guests comfortable. The king-size bed was large and comfortable. The space was extremely clean. Check-in and check-out were indeed flexible and easy. The location of the house is in a nice, affluent neighborhood. My friend and I were able to get to downtown in 15 minutes by car. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely check to see if I can stay at Allen's place again the next time I visit Vancouver.
