This was our second time in 1 1/2 months at Howie and Lisa's and it felt like coming back home! Our hosts were away when we arrived, but they made it very easy for us to get the key and get settled in at a time that was convenient to us. Pastries and snacks were awaiting in the room, which was very clean and tidy, like the first time. Lisa and Howie are very kind and flexible people. Next time we're in Vancouver, we'll book their room again for sure!
