Gabriella is a lovely host. Energetic. Friendly. Ready with great suggestions.
The location is perfect to go downtown (#17 bus) and easy access to Alberta arts district and Mississippi Williams.
She is very open about the rules she has for her home and understandably because she cares about her home. The rules were no issue at all.
I had the unique experience of being able to go on a hike with her and have lunch with her and she was an awesome guide and company. Thank you again, Gabriella! I met a friend at Lucca, a nearby restaurant, that she recommended. If you like Italian, take her suggestion. She was right when she told me sincerely, "I have great taste". She does have good taste haha.
I stayed in her downstairs room. Very comfy. Sharing the bathroom was never an issue. And she provides a nice, healthy breakfast.
I'd stay again in a heartbeat.
