Exactly what I needed, a nice, cozy, clean place with a superb real and comfortable bed in a private room. Ran's apt. is 12 min from Downtown Vancouver and there's plenty of FREE street parking available (compare to downtown). I drove my own car from US and it was safe at all times. The area is safe with a nice park adjacent to Ran's place.
Thank You Ran for the hospitality even though you had your own plans.
