We stayed for 3 nights in this wonderful little space and it was exactly what we were looking for: cozy, clean, well kept and with fantastic hosts. The location is great as well; we stepped out quite a bit to Commercial Drive and all its trappings but you can easily venture over to Stanley Park, North Vancouver, Downtown, Gastown, Chinatown, etc if you have a car, bike or don't mind public transit. All in all, you can't beat this for incredible value and accommodation quality. Leave Canada Centre and the hotel districts for the "tourists", go with Howie & Lisa's and you'll be staying like a "local"!
