We marked Catherine's property as slightly better than we expected because we had read previous reviews and expected the high standard that we found. Catherine and Mario were great hosts and they could not have been more friendly or welcoming. Everything about it was comfortable and clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We would like to think that we will return sometime in the next year or two.
Mario suggested to us that we bought Compass bus and underground tickets which we did. They can be bought at the rail station a mile from the house and can then be used on public transport. We were glad that we did as we could go out without having to worry about parking, which is expensive. I believe that the tickets can be used from the airport so, on another occasion, we might delay hiring a car until we leave Vancouver. Whenever we got a bit stuck with public transport someone would always be willing to help us and everyone we met in Vancouver was extremely kind and helpful. Altogether a very pleasant experience.
