I recently moved back to the Vancouver area in Oct 2014. I have a three bedroom townhouse, 1,900sq/ft and able to provide a bed with bathroom. My place is close to a bus stop and a few Kms from the Sky Train station. I am retired and can drive to some of the local tourist sites. I am a non smoker, so no smoking in my place! I do enjoy get out of the house to do things. I do some volunteer work with the Red Cross.
