The Optimal Home Away From Home

A comfortable lodging within the neighbourhood of small shops, our welcoming hosts provided a fully equipped place to stay. Our visit to the city became a bit less stressful given the thoughtfulness of our hosts in anticipating our needs. We have no reservations in highly recommending this location to potential visitors.

10/10 Would Stay Again

This cute little suite was perfect for what we needed! The beds were comfy, the den area was great for relaxing after a day of activities, and the location made it easy to get around using only public transit. Doug was a fantastic, helpful host who greeted us on arrival. We had a great time and highly suggest staying at this property!

Lovely host, lovely place, lovely neighbourhood

Highly recommend as a central location near a cosmopolitan neighbourhood. Space will be a little tight if you sleep 4 adults in the apartment as we did, but the place held up well and had everything we needed. Doug and Delores are lovely!

A Most Enjoyable Stay

This flat was perfect! Clean, neat, comfortable with all the facilities one could hope for and close to Broadway with plenty of restaurants and cafes. Detergent was provided for both laundry and dishwasher, a fresh bar of soap along with clean towels of course. I would definitely return for my next visit to Vancouver! Thank you.

Spacious unit in gorgeous neighbourhood.

This is a really lovely space. Downstairs but doesn’t feel like a basement because there are loads of windows and light. Well stocked, and with tons of space for your things, and a regular-sized kitchen. Appreciated the art on all the walls! Great location for exploring the city. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Excellent comfortable apartment in a great area

We enjoyed our stay in this basement apartment in Kitsilano. It is a perfect location in a lovely neighborhood in walking distance of excellent restaurants. It is easy driving distance to many attractions that we wanted to see as first-time visitors to Vancouver. The apartment is spacious and the master bed mattress is probably the most comfortable I have ever encountered in a VRBO or hotel. If you are coming on business, there is a nice desk area in the living room where you could easily set up your computer and other materials. The weather was cool and we were able to keep the windows open and use the fans provided to keep the apartment at a comfortable temperature. All the appliances are in excellent condition and there is plenty of hot water for showers. The hosts were friendly and responsive and not at all intrusive. I highly recommend this VRBO for a vacation or business stay in the Vancouver area.

Just as advertised—great location near UBC, privacy, 2 BR, perfect for family of 4.

Don was always responsive and available. 2 BR, good kitchen, private entryway, free and convenient parking on street, washer and dryer. Perfect set-up for a family of 4. Super close to UBC. Husband appreciated good TV. WiFi too. Would totally recommend accommodations—exactly as described—basement of private home, but still light and windows open to enjoy that lovely Vancouver weather!

Family visit

My sister and I had a wonderful stay in the designer suite. The suite was very well equipped and very comfortable. Although situated in a quiet residential area of Vancouver it was only a short walk to public transport, good restaurants and shops. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit Vancouver The owner's were always on hand if you needed any help or information. Thank you Dolores and Douglas.
