Alan was great welcoming us with detailed instructions on how to get to his apartment from the airport. It was evident how responsive and organized our host was throughout the process. We were given a nice house list of what was available to us within the apartment along with suggestions of what to do just a couple blocks away from our front door. There was a great coffee shop and biergarten right around the corner. The Shaw neighborhood was perfect for getting around via subway/uber/foot. There were plenty of bars and restaurants for us to enjoy as pointed out by our host.
