A previous guest had left a note to say that Dan's place was "both minimalist and full of detail...artistic without pretense" and we felt that captured it exactly. Dan describes himself as a teacher and we concluded that his field is art and design and he is a craftsman in his own right. A beautiful place to stay and we enjoyed our week. In practical terms: a small but well equipped kitchen; a good location handy for excellent Kitsilano shops, transport downtown and access to the shore; a large, well furnished deck with views to the city and the mountains beyond.
