Brian's place is a cozy little cottage in the backyard of a heritage house. It has its own private entrance and private sitting area outside for when the weather is fine, and a gas fireplace and comfy chair for when its not. The location makes it walkable for downtown and the West End, including English Bay and Stanley Park, and its close to the little ferry that takes you to Granville Island and Kitsilano. There are many shops and restaurants near by. The bed is very comfortable, and there is a small fridge and a microwave in the room. Brian is very easy to communicate with, answering questions within minutes. All in all a great base from which to visit Vancouver.
