We enjoyed our stay at Brian's while we were in Vancouver! Although we didn't meet Brian, his wife was always available and responsive to our questions. She helped explain the parking, and described the neighborhood and nearby activities when we checked in. The apartment itself was clean, and very spacious. It got a little warm for us during the day and at night, so it may take getting use to if you normally use an air conditioner. There is some traffic noise in the mornings during rush hour, but this is pretty normal in any busy city. Overall, a very honest, accurate description of the apartment, and there were no surprises.
