We stayed one night at Allen's place and we had an excellent experience!! The check-in was very easy, Allen gave us directions via phone (I didn't read his instructions... sorry, my bad!). The room was very clean, the bathroom also. It is located in a nice neighbourhood out of downtown, but still very easily accessible with train and buses, even at night. Allen provided clean sheets, towels and amenities and gave us tips about which places are worth going in Vancouver. He let us use his wi-fi and also provided several menus of local restaurants! I'd say Allen is a better host than any hotel, seriously!! Thank you very much for the great time Allen! Majk
