Wow! I have to admit I was skeptical seeing the pictures of Joe's place but yes just like the other reviews have mentioned, it is EXACTLY as pictured. It is a stunning home and everything from the entrance leading up to the home to the interior brought a smile to our faces. There is also a beautiful private patio if you want to enjoy your coffee outside in the morning. All the basic amenities are there but there are many thoughtful touches including different types of teas in the kitchen and candles throughout the home for your own use. There was plenty of parking on the street, I never had a problem finding a spot next to the house. I'm hoping I can stay here again the next time I'm in Vancouver =)
