Yang was a very gracious host and met us to let us in. His place is very comfortable and is well situated to explore the city from. There are some good restaurants within walking distance, but otherwise it was easy and not too expensive to Uber to and from. There is also public transport but we didn't use it.
You can also park your car in his gated driveway, off the street, which was really convenient.
Would definitely recommend as a homebase if you are visiting Vancouver.
