Katy was a brilliant host, warm and welcoming and very responsive to messages. The place was just as described and I highly recommend visiting any of the great suggestions she listed on the places to check out. There are plenty of transportation options with buses running frequently and in every direction (downtown, Stanley Park, out to Commercial Drive and Metrotown), but if you're like me you'll enjoy the walk down to Main Street where you'll find restaurants and cafes galore. The shower was awesome and the cleanliness was good. I loved that Katy had prepared not just towels but a fresh, organic soap bar to use. The little touches she added made my stay all the more enjoyable. Thank you Katy!
