Brian is a terrific host, very generous with his home and his time. I stayed in his room for a week and never once felt like I was a 'guest'. It almost felt like home! I also got to know him personally while I was there and now I have a new friend. He is also a good cook and will always prepare extra food for the guests, if they so desire.
Overall a great experience. You are definitely getting bang for your buck. I highly recommend the place to any prospective visitors. I doubt if you will find such a friendly host elsewhere in the area!
