I didn't get the chance to meet Ryan in person, but communication with him was great. He took the time, via video chat, to show me around the house before I checked-in. His apartment is beautiful, clean and has everything you need to make you feel at home. The neighbourhood is also warm and beautiful. The only reason why this place might not be for you is the basement ceiling height -- if you are very tall, like a friend of mine who visited while I was staying there, you might find it too low. But other than that, I highly recommend Ryan's place.
