Five of us have just spent 8 nights staying in Braden's garden suite and it was absolutely perfect! Very conveniently located to walk to Broadway and West 4th for restaurants and the beaches, as well as to get transit to UBC and Downtown. The flat had lots of thoughtful touches like milk in the fridge and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived and was fully-equipped with everything we could possibly need - definitely a home away from home.
We'd arranged to let ourselves into the suite when we arrived but Brendan came and checked on us and showed us how a few things worked and also checked on us several times throughout our stay.
We'll definitely be looking to stay at one of Braden's places when we come over again next year.
