Brian is truly a wonderful host. We decided to stay with him while we looked for a permanent apartment. The check in was pretty straightforward. He was very prompt and timely with his responses. The place was sparkling clean. LOVED the huge bathroom all to ourselves! We were able to cook anytime in the kitchen. Brian freed up some space for us in the fridge and pantry for our groceries which was a super considerate thing to do. Also, he is like a walking Vancouver encyclopedia! He is such a wonderful resource for anything and everything Vancouver related! Also, don’t get upset about the slippers requirement:) It might seem like an unnecessary request, but that’s how he keeps the house/carpet spotless which ultimately results in a very enjoyable experience. All in all, we strongly recommend Brian as a host!
