Bob and Ting are super friendly and kind. They are very approachable and could always give some advice for exploring the city. Had some fun conversations and overall my stay at their place was very pleasant.
There are some restaurants near the place. The house is also close to bus stop which you could take the bus and go directly to downtown. Walking to Pike&Pine neighborhood is about 20 minutes and a walk to downtown is about 40 minutes. There are many cool places and stores on the way so I would say worth doing it.
Definitely recommend to stay here!
