Erik was a superb host, very pleasant & easy to communicate with. He even acted as a bit of 'tour guide' as he took time to recommend some great spots on the island for hiking & sightseeing. the galiano harbour view house was exactly as described & then some. the views from the giant deck simply have to be seen to be believed. my wife & i had never been to galiano island prior to this visit but we definitely intend on returning.
