John and Vickie were great hosts - from the first greeting on arrival day, to a goodby email.

We loved the apartment as it was perfect for our needs. Our pre-requisites were 100% - leather settees, orthopaedic bed, wooden flooring, electric cooker (no gas fumes), washing machine & tumble dryer. In all PERFECT !!

The apartment was rented for 1 month so that my husband could stay with his mother, covering his brother's vacation to Europe. It was unfortunate that during his visit she passed away. John was a wonderful host and my upteem emails to him due to my concerns about my husband (my lack of communicating with him), meant John physically went round to the apartment to check on him and dropped a note through the door - I very much appreciated that.

I managed to go to the funeral and stayed in the apartment for two weeks. We stayed in mostly, and found the apartment extremely comfortable and very easy to clean, hence our requirement of wooden floors.

Due to a very bad experience my husband had a few years back in Vancouver with bed-bugs, the leather settee and wooden floors were a pre-requisite. The fact that John also has an orthopaedic bed for the guests, tells you a great deal about how much he cares and appreciates the comfort of his guests.

When the kettle went, I only needed to email John, and a day later we had a brand new kettle in our doorstep!

John did warn us about the traffic noise, and sure that is the same wherever you stay in Vancouver (I know this from experience), so was not disappointed in anyway. In fact my husband found it comforting (has tinnitus), so he kept patio doors open whilst sleeping.

Another plus in choosing John's place was the location to transport, where a number of buses are less than 30 seconds walk away from the apartment, trains and other buses also within minutes away, which made it easy to go anywhere in downtown, shops, restaurants, and the great beaches.

Considering part of the stay was unfortunate due to the demise of my mother-in-law, I cannot fault either the apartment, nor the caring and wonderful hosts - John and Vicky. We thoroughly recommend Tinseltown Apartment to anyone wanting comfort, friendly neighbours, and caring hosts.

If we get a chance to travel to Vancouver again, I will ensure we book well in advance to stay at John & Vicky's Tinseltown Apartment.
