Thank you Kellan for the use of your lovely spacious home, we had a great time (the coffee was a fab bonus).
Location and ease of access was very good, just down the road from train station, Olympic village and Science museum on the waterfront. Public transport is brilliant. Btw the parking space was grand, we managed to park a medium size SUV without much difficulty.
With our daughter living near by we'll certainly be recommending Kellan's apartment to our family and friends in Ireland as an ideal base to explore the lovely city of Vancouver.
Regarding the less fortunate people in the general area we found that they kept to themselves. Wishing them a good morning doesn't do any harm.
Thanks again Kellan, you are a star
