Barry. Was. The. Best. He was SO communicative throughout our stay and answered all kinds of logistics questions for us prior to heading to Winnipeg. When we got to the house, he had set up a whole chalk board (red, white, and blue colors) welcoming us for the World Cup, and he had papers printed out and highlighted with bus directions, Winnipeg highlights, and all kinds of World Cup items, including magnets and coasters. He even went to the lengths to set up some special extras that another friend of ours asked him to add since she had to cancel. He was an absolutely amazing host and I would recommend him to anyone.
