Nice for a short stay; not ideal for active dogs.
I would recommend Greg’s place for short weekend stays with small pets only. The place is not suitable for visitors with large pets staying for a long period of time. This is because the home-owners are very strict about yard use and you may be subject to paying for reseeding. However, you will likely be unaware about having to pay for this. The owner did not tell me about reseeding until the day that I left.
The kitchen and sink are very small and not ideal for extensive cooking. Since this is a basement suite, the walls and ceiling are very thin, and you will likely hear the owners moving around and talking upstairs. This wasn’t much of an issue for me, as I can handle a bit of noise, but may be important to future renters to know. Each of the mattresses are very uncomfortable. However, they may be fine for a short stay. As a host, Greg can come off as a bit particular about how he wants guests to live in the space. For instance, I occasionally received messages reminding me to turn on the vent while I was in the shower and that the running water was too loud at night while I was brushing my teeth. This may be uncomfortable for future renters.
Generally, the owner seems nice and was full of suggestions about places to go in Vancouver. He and his wife even invited me to join them for holiday celebrations and a hike.
The place is a nice central location for a weekend getaway and for dogs who don’t need to spend much time outside.
