My wife and I spent 9 nights at his accommodation and thoroughly enjoyed our stay . Our flight was delayed and the great man selflessly picked us up at the airport even though it was 0300hrs.
Before we came to his house we felt we would be seriously out of our comfort zone ( not having our own exclusive kitchen area ) .
In reality we found it added another layer to our Vancouver experience ... in our 9 nights we met several other holidaymakers from other countries and it was an illuminating experience , The communal kitchen and lounge areas work well as does his guidelines to do your food and drink consumption in the kitchen ( other than having water ) and again that was fine .
William and Kaho are a very ‘hands-on’ couple and are regularly on hand to offer quality suggestions to enhance your holiday . They are excellent hosts !
The location is superb as it is in the leafy suburb of Oakridge ... the house is opposite an open field and the area is wondrously calm and serene . Walk just over 5 minutes ( walking down one adjacent road ) and you reach the Oakridge mall , a site that has a well-stocked Safeway supermarket , a Starbucks within it , and the Mall itself has several shops of different genres so close to your location .
Crucially , the Mall is adjacent to a Sky train station which thus affords you a pathway to all areas of Vancouver . After paying 6 Canadian dollars for a Compass card , you can pay $10.50 a day for a day pass which affords you the opportunity to board trains , ferries (Seabus) AND buses to a multitude of destinations in Vancouver .
We usually rent a car but found the use of the aforementioned transport a much better option . Given that the transport system operates 20 hours of the day we found it a great way to get around .
Given the location and the friendly ambience created by William and Kaho , their accommodation is an excellent reasonably priced place to use as a base for enjoying Vancouver . I thoroughly recommend anyone ( whether travelling alone or as a family ) to book there ! We plan to return in the coming years and unreservedly recommend anyone to enjoy the hospitality.
