Stayed with Steve for the entire summer (3 months) and had a blast!
He is a very welcoming host, great cook, took us hiking, invited us over to his beach house, suggested tons of things to do in Vancouver and was always very helpful, generous and outgoing - simply a fun guy to be with!
I absolutely recommend staying with Steve!
The loft is beautiful, clean and spacious, with an amazing mountain and downtown view. Public transport just around the corner, same goes for groceries and such. Great spot to be!
