Brian and his place are great. Prompt communication and ability to deal with my check-in and out preferences. The rooms very clean, with the ability to open the windows, sit outside, cook, and use the wifi. It was quiet and peaceful. My favorite thing about Brian's house is the location -- I loved walking through the beautiful neighborhood and parks on my way to and from the UBC campus for a conference. It was convenient to take the bus from the Safeway each day. Also I felt that the price was great for the location. Would definitely stay again if I am ever in Vancouver.
