Brian is a great host and I felt very confortable with him. The place is very clean and Brian is very careful to keep it that way. The slipper necessity made sense, as it helps keeping it clean. Private fridge, microwave, small oven were everything I needed. There was always parking room in front of the house and it is also very close to bus stops. The place is 5 minutes to UBC and 20 min to downtown. Cost benefit was great. I recomend and intend to stay there again in future trips to Vancouver.
