Roman's place is beautiful and really well located. We weren't sure what to expect of Van. I was giving a paper at a conference at Emily Carr, and Roman's flat is right next door. But when we arrived we found that the Mount Pleasant area was actually the best in Van. China town in right on the doorstep, as are about 10 brew houses and amazing resterants (great sushi). Roman's falt is great, very comfortable and all the appliances you could ask for!!! Definatly ideally located for us. Roman was also very responsive to all questions and queries!!
