Manna was an amazing host and was great at communicating with me beforehand regarding my arrival date and time. She welcomed me in-person and gave me a tour of everything that was for my sole use. She made sure that I was comfortable and also constantly reminded me that I just needed to ask if there was absolutely anything that I was in need for. I was given my own set of keys and so even though it was her home, I was given the freedom to come and go as I pleased. The room that I was given was in an immaculate condition and so was the private bathroom that accompanied it. I had an issue in terms of keeping my stuff somewhere until the friend who I was gonna be rooming with got back from vacation. Manna kept my bags at hers until 9PM on check out day and I feel like that was over and above what she was required to do. Check out time was also flexible and everything was just really easy overall.
If I ever need a place to stay in Vancouver, her place will always be my first choice from now on.
