Garrett's place is quite cozy and chic. It pretty much has everything you need for a nice getaway weekend. He was quite kind in allowing us to check in early and adjusted the thermostat for us when asked which we appreciated. We all slept well in the house and felt right at home. Everyone loved the diverse neighborhood we were staying in as well. The location of the place is only half a block away from the fun main strip (Commercial Drive) that offers so much in terms of restaurants, bars, global grocery stores, bookstores, and more. Indeed, all of us enjoyed our stay and had a great time ringing in the New Year in Vancouver, BC.
