Noah is a very thoughtful soul whose gentle and kind nature is a remedy for travellers seeking a slower pace - sans technology etc. His home is specific to his inquisitive nature and very much a home - rather than feeling like a hotel, and so for me it was so fitting during my travels to feel at home here & comfortable & equal in sharing the space with another. It also parallels the culture of Vancouver, which is a city full of open and helpful people. Noah is a person who is not the vast majority (invested in transactional services) and truly caring.
