I didn't get a chance to meet Brendon since my stay was quite busy, but he was communicative and a great host. Check-in was easy, and It was convenient having the separate entrance. His basement is a well-designed separate living space, clean, and comfy. The welcome basket with snacks, fridge with drinks, free coffee, were so nice. The location was great with plenty of restaurants and bars a short drive away. Would stay with Brendon again without hesitation!
