A great place to come home to!

It was a lovely, luxurious stay for me. A great place to relax!

The room was a little hot one evening and despite reading the instructions for the unit, it couldnt get the room to a desirable temperature. But that was a minor issue all around.

10/10 would stay here again

The neighborhood was beautiful, the house was stunning and the room was cozy and we absolutely loved it! If you enjoy dark academia/ victorian vibes you will love this place. The bed was very comfy and I loved the furniture in our room. It was at the back of the house so very quet but the street in general was not busy at all. We also loved that there where no children and the other guests where respectfull noisewise. We felt very welcome and hope to come and stay there again.

The mini fridge was a little loud.. but the room had a mini fridge (which was great for keeping leftovers as I can't eat a lot in one go) so who's complaining?! We acctually can't realy think of anything we didn't like.

An amazing place to stay when visiting Vancouver.

We were very warmly welcomed by the owners who gave us a short introduction to the place, what to do in the neighborhood as well as where to go when visiting the city center. The room was very nicely and charmingly decorated and furnished and clean; it had everything you could ask for. The balcony on the second floor invites for a nice view towards the city center and you can enjoy a beautiful sunset. While the house is located a bit farther from the city center, it is easy to get there with a bus that runs not far from the place. However, close by is a busy street that has a lot to offer itself, little shops, restaurants and more. We felt immediately welcome and really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely back when visiting Vancouver.

Exciting and great days in Vancouver

The accommodation is located in a nice area near Commercial Drive, with many cafes, bars, restaurants and small stores. We were at the accommodation before check-in time and could leave our luggage there until our room was ready. We were greeted very warmly and immediately felt very comfortable. The room is very comfortably furnished and very quiet. The bathroom also very clean and very well equipped. We had a very nice stay and can really recommend this accommodation with very friendly and helpful hosts.

There is nothing to mention here.

Beatiful house in a beautiful neighbourhood

Nice stylish house (queen Anne revival) in a lovely, historic and quiet neighbourhood. A bottle of wine as a welcome gift was very much appreciated. Coffee and water were for free. Fridge in the room. Centre city was easy reachable with buses and metro. On commercial street lots of restaurants and vintage shops.

We met the host by accident when we left. Communication went through mail and app. It felt a bit unpersonal, nevertheless our host responded immediatly when we had aquestion.

Home away from home

The owner and staff were extremely helpful in suggesting restaurants/local cafes. My baggage was delayed and they really helped me out. Felt like a home away from home and extremely comfortable! High quality fixtures/appliances. The shower was gorgeous. The bottle of welcome vino was a great touch and much appreciated.

Slightly too far from the sky train for us (20+ min walk).
