I had a wonderful stay with Venus and Warwick.  The warmth I felt in their house was awesome.  The room and private bathroom with shower was amazing.  The house is close to a bus stop to the skytrain station and I went to downtown Vancouver daily.  It was wonderful to come home there every night.  Venus was a fabulous hostess and made me feel so welcome.  We even spent Christmas together!  I cannot recommend them enough.  My stay was the most memorable part of my trip to Canada.
