    Very friendly and helpful host, the area is gorgeous and beautiful, the house is great, clean and comfortable. We would be happy to come again.

  • Tony from Canada (8/10)

    The location is very good. The ability to park is exceptional. Because I was a returning client I was given a discount. This time though I booked the basement set of rooms as I had brought my son with me. While I was in one room, he was in the other with the big screen TV so he could watch Netflix. That room is down the hallway so he could watch and it did not keep me awake. All the rooms were comfortable and spacious. And I liked having access to the laundry.

    I was a little surprised on how high the ceilings were. I guess when they build basements in Vancouver now I guess they want high ceilings. A far cry from my student days. Photos are true. It is a good location and will appeal to those who like to walk around the classic Vancouver West Side neighborhoods.
