My son stayed at Al's place for a continuing education course over a long weekend and he is writing this review. Al allowed me to drop off my luggage early so I didn't have to drag it with me to lunch. He gave me advice on places to eat and about the nightlife in Vancouver if that's your sort of thing. His apartment was immaculate (even more so as it's his home). He let me check out late as he had no one checking in immediately. He told me exactly how and where to take the train back to the airport upon my departure. He also guided me to what I believe is the best Indian restaurant I've ever had the pleasure to eat at. I should also say that I don't typically write reviews, but Al was absolutely stellar and I felt it was important to let others know. Thank you for making my trip an experience.
P.S. The balcony was wonderful to sit on and take in the city.
