Alex was a helpful & responsive host. His house is very conveniently situated by a park & just off the busy commercial drive but beautifully quiet. So easy walking distance to some great restaurants & coffee bars as well as the bus/sky train terminus.
The oven/hob was fab as I like to cook for myself rather than eat out all the time. The bed was comfortable & bathroom well equipped with the basic essentials. Also a superb washer & dryer which was very useful if there for a long stay.
