The room was clean and thoughtfully appointed, with a tasteful, modern design. We loved the neighbourhood and appreciated the hospitality extended by John’s family and the feeling of community from seeing his grandkids playing with the neighbours on their lawns and everyone enjoying the long summer evenings together. The house is in a quiet area and conveniently located near shops, transit, etc. The room is quite small, and you do hear signs of life in and around the house, but it’s the perfect place to start and end your day if you’re planning to be out and about Vancouver. In the evenings we enjoyed walking around the neighbourhood, including the nearby mansions of Shaughnessy.
