Our stay at Brian's apartment was great. The apartment was exactly as described. It was extremely clean and well-laid out. Most importantly, the location was great--it was only a short walk to the shops/restaurants on 10th Ave., and very close to fast buses to most parts of the city. The only tiny problem was that the hot water tank ran out rather quickly when showering, but by staggering showers, this wasn't a major issue for my wife and I at all. Brian was a great host--he responded extremely quickly to everything we asked and was very helpful. We would happily stay there again on another trip to Vancouver!
