We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Gary's place. It literally felt like a home away from home because of his genuine nature and generous hospitality. The house is a trove of eclectic treasures which blend comfortably into a fabulous home. Visits from Basil (next door's cat) and the wonderful garden really topped it off. And the 10min walk downtown or to the beach is the perfect buffer, making the street feel quiet and safe at night. Should we come back to Byron, we would not hesitate in rebooking. We loved it that much.
