Cozy Home in Super Area

Planned 3 nights in Kitsilano with our adult son who was getting ready to move into his new apartment. Could not have been happier. The kitchen is well set up for cooking in house - something we appreciate. It was VERY clean and we certainly valued the free parking at the back lane way. Theresa was great.

Great homebase - perfect for families, close to everything!

I initially had a few issues getting in touch with the host after I reserved and paid several months ago, sending multiple messages without reply, but once I was able to get in touch with Theresa via text message (received telephone number a day before we went), communication was a breeze. The reserved parking in the back laneway is very welcome in a city devoid of parking unless you have a permit, and the english garden is a lovely sight to see in the morning. The suite itself was bright, spacious and clean, despite being a partial basement suite. All amenities were provided, including toiletries and laundry soap - we only had to buy a few things such as dish gloves, and an extra dish towel or two, as well as a few grocery items. Theresa was aware that we had two children with us, and the fridge was stocked with milk, orange juice, and fruit when we arrived. I stayed for 8 days with my two young daughters, who shared a room with comfy twin beds and luxurious down comforters, and my mother stayed in the extra bedroom. I myself stayed on the pull out in the living room which had a thinner mattress but was still comfortable. Steps to Burrard with good restaurants and a convenient shoppers drug mart, and super easy access to downtown via the Burrard bridge. We will be staying here again for our trip out to Vancouver again next year. Thank you so much!

Family friendly and comfortable

This condo worked beautifully for my family of 2 adults and 2 young boys for our 8 night stay in Vancouver. The outdoor area was perfect for the kids to kick a soccer ball or play catch and we enjoyed eating our meals at the condo outdoors on the patio. The owner was responsive to our needs and addressed a couple of small concerns that arose during our stay. The neighbourhood is quiet but lots of amenities in short walking or driving distance including great restaurants and grocery stores. Very short walk to the nearest bus stop. Travelling with kids, we really appreciated having laundry, outdoor space, a fully functional kitchen and a large bathroom. The condo is very nicely finished. We would certainly return to this condo when we travel to Vancouver again.

Functional basement apartment 10 mins from downtown.

The building has multiple VRBO-listed apartments. We stayed in a basement apartment, two bedrooms, with two couples and a small baby. Location is simple enough to downtown - take a bus or a short ($10-14) cab ride - and near multiple restaurants, and Kitsilano beach. The apartment was clean and modern. Theresa, who manages these apartments, was helpful throughout. A few things could be improved: provide more towels, provide a book of local amenities - and instructions on recycling, check-out etc - and clean the living area rug. At the height of summer (admittedly not a long period) the apartments small fans will struggle to keep you cool.

Wonderful place and lovely host!

Location is excellent. Apartment is well appointed and clean. Theresa welcomed us warmly and checked in regularly (but not at all intrusively). The beds were comfortable. Only downside is if you need to use the pull out bed, there are no light blocking shades on windows or sliding door in the family room area. Minor issue and we would stay here again regardless. The gardens are also beautiful, but we were too busy enjoying Vancouver to linger!

Great location. Very cozy space.

It is great to be so close to West Broadway and also to 4th Avenue. Everything you need is there. Minutes from Kitsilano beach which is amazing. Apartment was great. Easy parking in the back. Wifi was a bit spotty. Equipped kitchen. Cozy space. Theresa was attentive whenever we had a concern.

Convenient rental and nice owner

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We stayed at Theresa's Cypress unit, which was rather conveniently located on W. 10th avenue. Theresa was very nice and very accommodating. Whenever we needed something she was quick to reply and help. For example, we the wifi didn't work well on the first day of our stay and once we alerted her to this she helped solve the problem. The kitchen is nicely equipped and it was pretty easy to organize meals, which was very useful. There are two reasons for me giving the place only four stars. One is the beds at the unit, and the other has to do with an excess of bugs (not roaches, but beetles and moths). With respect to the beds, although the description of the unit states that it sleeps six, the sleeping arrangements are not very convenient if you have older children. My two teenage sons (ages 16 and 18) had to share a double bed, which was not ideal. Overall, the beds were not very comfortable. The second problem had to do with the many beetles and moths in the apartment. But other than that, we enjoyed our stay there and appreciate Theresa's hospitality.

Property was as shown in the photographs

Property was in a reasonable location and within walking distance to many local shops and restaurants. Parking was an asset as residential neighborhoods have limited parking. The appliances and bedding were very clean. The furniture and beds were well used and a little tired looking but mostly functional. Wifi connection is strong and suitable for multiple devices. The owner is on the premises if you need anything and is helpful.

Home base, Haven of Rest

I spent an extended time of 5 months in this special place in Vancouver with teenagers in different schools and university. This apartment is at a very central location. Much of the activity like beach, Granville Island and interesting parks are in walking distance. It is also close to the bus stop, which connects you to anything your heart desires and Vancouver offers. Coming from a much quieter life I appreciated very much, that the apartment was in spite of the closeness to everything secluded and very private. It is situated at a bike designated street. Amazing what a haven this comfortable place became. The owner is very lovely and always there when needed. I would come back in a heart beat. Very comfortable for 4 people or 6 if you are comfortable with each other.

we will be back to Kitsilano and Cypress Gardens

Astrid and I David , came from Europe and stayed at the Cypress Garden suite on W 10th Avenue Kitsilano. Our hostess Theresa was wonderful to us ,the Suite was perfect.The two bedrooms living room with all amenities great for a twelve day stay. We had bikes and could tie them up at the back behind the door to the garden. Theresa did her most to help us along discovering Vancouver. Truly with that wonderful base we were able to enjoy a very happy holiday. Thank you Theresa! David

My Wonderful Stay

Had an incredible experience. This house turned out to be an excellent choice. The house itself is beautiful and spacious for my family of 6. It is in a wonderful location that is very convenient place to go around and discover Vancouver. Walking distance to many restaurants, groceries like No Frills and Safeway. She provided us our own telephone line, washer and dryer, a lot of plates and complete sets of pots for cooking. Beds are good enough to accomodate 6 people. Parking was an added bonus, aside from providing us a secured parking, our friends and relatives has an access as well. ( as we all know parking is always a problem here Vancouver). Theresa was a perfect host. She is very friendly and warm. She gave us useful informations and she checked via email to see how we were doing. Everything we needed was provided. Very happy with our 2 week stay. We enjoyed it very much and although we have visited Vancouver several times in the past, this was by far our best experience. I strongly recommend this house. Ideal for a family a real home away from home. April 2015

A Highly Functional, Convenient, and Comfortable Suite

y two sons and I stayed in the Cypress Garden Suite for one month while relocating to Vancouver from the U.S. The suite immediately felt like home and provided everything we required. The tasteful and warm décor and high functionality of the suite, including convenient location, made our transition very smooth. The proprietor was welcoming, helpful, and always available. We definitely recommend the suite for anyone looking for temporary accommodation.

Excellent Place to Stay in Vancouver

Myself and a friend stayed at the Arbutus Suite, centrally located to entertainment and shopping and parks. Easy access to downtown. We had a wonderful stay very relaxing and a great place to unwind. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. We found the suite very clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and spacious and elegant. This place is highly recommended, cant wait to stay there again soon.
