Had a great time at Haroon’s place, he left the apt spotless and well prepared for us. Also the communication with him was super easy (esp given that he was not there in person during our stay). The apt itself looks much nicer than the pictures suggest and the temperature in the apt was not a problem at all, as Haroon also had some fans.
Only watch-out: the apartment is located in the parallel street to the main drug area (Hastings Street) in Vancouver, so you will encounter drug addicts when you enter & exit the apartment (was not totally clear to us when we booked, as we hadn’t done our research). This was not a big problem for us tough & we would stay again at Haroon’s place, however I would have not want to stay there as a single female traveler.
