We arrived a little earlier than planned, but Allen's dad was gracious enough to allow us to charge our phones in the foyer so that we could have power before we went out exploring. Upon arrival he greeted us at the door and started up a friendly conversation telling us where to go, what to see and what to eat. The room was very comfortable for two people with a KING size bed that swept us away to dreamland every night. The place is very centrally located with quick access by bus to any of the skytrain stations and two malls. The neighborhood is near a mini Chinatown and we found plenty of Vietnamese food to chow down on. The bathroom was great with a showerhead that you could use to rinse yourself, I honestly felt like I was staying in a hotel. There are other people in the house, but they are friendly and quiet. I didn't even know they were there until the last few days! I recommend staying here because you won't be caught in a tourist trap if you stay downtown and you will have a chance to meet people who live in the area. Plus it's great to get a locals perspective of the area so that you don't waste precious vacation time and money. We will return!
