We had a very comfortable 2-night stay at Alison's home. We had total privacy but our host was available for questions when we had them. The space was tastefully decorated and comfortable and so much cheaper than the two rooms we would have needed to accommodate our family in even a standard motel. The neighborhood was quiet but within walking distance to a lovely area, with restaurants, cafes, and even a toy store, not to mention a quick drive to University of British Columbia and Jericho Park. The little nook under the fireplace was a favorite place to relax for our 8-year-old, as was the trampoline, and the room set up was perfect for us -- a couple, a younger child and a teenager. We would definitely stay again.
