Staying at Chris's was fantastic. Upon arrival he was there to greet me with utmost warmth, explaining everything, showing me around (and carrying my suitcase up the stairs!! :-) The room has everything one needs and looks for in a place home away from home and for a 'I-have-been-on-the-road-for-a-while' traveler like myself at that moment, an utmost welcome truly divine bed. Light sleepers might be bothered by the rather noisy street, but in perfect host style, the room comes with earplugs for those who might need them. Perfectly located in the Howard-Shaw area, the room and flat allows travelers from all walks of live to explore the city and the neighbourhood with ease in all safety. Apart from that, Chris' unique hosting skills of genuine interest yet generous discretion allows for a real encounter if one wishes so (we had great deck conversations!!), making the experience much more than just a simple place to stay. Next time I'm in town, I won't hesitate to come back here if possible!
