My friend and I had an absolutely wonderful time at Allen's! This was our first airbnb experience and it could not have gone better. Safe, convenient, friendly and clean. Allen provided us with lots of tips on how to get around the city and his advice made our trip so smooth. We actually wish we had seen more of him (the place is very private) since we enjoyed him so much! Allen has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable- plates, cups, wine opener, tissues, hair products, etc. I will definitely be staying here again during any trip to Vancouver. Also, we were worried about the commute downtown/parking and, let me tell you, it could not have been more simple. Took us about 20-30 minutes to the heart of the city via bus/train. Cost was less than $3 per person. Parking is free and accessible on the street at the house so we found that to be a huge money saver as well. We drove into town our second day. We found the drive very easy (even without Google maps) although parking downtown was very expensive, as Allen warned. Overall, stay at Allen's! You won't regret it.
