I had to cancel my trip to Paul's place at the last minute because a huge windstorm had knocked out power to all of Galiano Island and I didn't want to travel to a place without power that was still recovering from the worst storm in 20 years. So I cannot review the cottage itself, but Paul was always quick to respond to messages when he had power and I first booked the cottage. Once his power was restored (after the planned start of my trip) he returned my messages and was happy with my decision to cancel the trip. It was great he was so understanding about the change of plans since neither of us had control over the weather or the power coming back. I hope to book another trip to Paul's cottage in the future.
