A sweet, calming, healing space for my daughter and i to reconnect…
There are blessings in this quiet space amidst a city visit. We stayed during my daughter’s school term. Sascha’s sweet, conscienciousness and her soothing art offers healing opportunities.

Great cozy place
The property was well-furnished and maintained, check-in was very smooth and the host was very welcoming, the surrounding area is great for walking and not too far from the nearest bus stop to get where you need to go. Overall, highly recommended!

Quiet and well appointed cottage
We had a lovely time in this quiet and well-appointed ground floor cottage apartment that looks out onto the backyard greenery. Sascha was a welcoming host and we had everything we needed for a 5 day stay. The bed was super comfortable and there was storage space for our clothes and bags. It doesn't have a lot of natural light - if you were spending time there in the daytime it would be a bit dark. But if you're like us and out and about all day, the place is perfect. Thanks Sascha!

Nice Getaway
Neighborhood and property is beautiful. Fresh air, beautiful trees, easy access to walk to stores. Nice distance to downtown, beaches, mountain hikes, and ferry to the islands. I highly recommended staying here. Our host was great, and gave us good insights on what to do around the area.

Perfect getaway
This was the perfect getaway location for a girls reunion! Everything you need for a couple days away. Perfect backyard garden for a quiet dinner catching up one night and close enough to downtown for a fun night out. Super clean and comfortable. Hosts very attentive and friendly, including Flynn and Luke! Would definitely stay again.

Great little place in a great location
The VRBO was super clean and nicely appointed. I would recommend for singles/couples who want to sleep in the bedroom… the pullout couch is not a super comfortable place to sleep. But the unit is lovely and up to date. The actual bed is wonderful. The garden is very nice and I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to stay close to the city

Such a lovey home away from home!
It was such a treat staying here over staying in a hotel! The neighbourhood is lovely, parking is plentiful, the hosts left very detailed notes on the nearby amenities for your convenience! It was easy to get to from airport and easy to get to Vancouver General Hospital and downtown! It had a beautiful garden out back you can enjoy. Absolutely lovely and will stay there again if we can!

Cosy & quiet
The accommodation was great for us! Small, but well equipped, quiet, clean. The garden was also great! We barely heard Sascha and her family upstairs. Sascha is super friendly and helpful. We were also able to check in earlier. We traveled by bus, so it's quite a distance from the city. But doable. Highly recommended!

Cozy Canada Apartment!
We had a great stay at this property. Very comfortable in terms of size and amenities for a family of 3 and a beautiful garden to boot. Our host was friendly and flexible and we highly recommend it. Just keep in mind that it's a solid 15-20 minute Uber from downtown.

Great Location
A great location with lots of options for walking around in a well established neighborhood. Host was great. It was close to UBC and the gardens and downtown. This is the basement of a beautiful old house. Lots of daylight coming in and a good breeze. Because it’s older you can hear the owners upstairs. If you need to sleep in it may be good to let the owners know. Kitchenette had everything you would need and the bedding in the bedroom was really nice.

About the host

Hosted by Sascha Westendorp

Host profile image
We are a German-Canadian family of 4. We moved to Vancouver in 1998 and fell in love with the City.
Our 2 daughters attend University in Montreal and Kelowna and they as well speak English and German!
I love to meet people from all over the world and listen to their adventures and their own country.

Why they chose this property

We love Vancouver! One of the most 'versatile' cities in the world. The area where we live is on a hill and you have a view of the mountains. You never really have the feeling you live right in the city.
Being so close to the mountains, the forest, the beaches and downtown is truly unique!

What makes this property unique

Our house has a lush garden for you to enjoy, the view of the mountains and a big park just 1 minute away. Our suite is cozy and clean and has an artsy and European feel to it.
