Brand New Modern Laneway House

Brand New Modern Laneway House Overview

First Impressions

The Brand New Modern Laneway House caught me off guard in the best possible way. Tucked away on West 38th Avenue in Vancouver, this three-star gem feels more like staying at a design-savvy friend’s place than a typical hotel. I mean, the name says it all — it really is brand new, and you can tell from the moment you walk up to the sleek entrance. The moment you step inside, the attention to detail becomes immediately apparent, with every element thoughtfully curated for comfort and style.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re in a proper Vancouver neighborhood, not some touristy bubble. The area around West 38th has that authentic local vibe where you’ll see people walking their dogs and grabbing coffee at corner shops. It’s about a 15-minute drive to downtown, but honestly, having parking included (and free!) makes all the difference in this city. Couples seem to get it — they consistently rate the location highly, and I can see why. You feel like you’re living in Vancouver rather than just visiting it. The neighborhood truly captures the essence of local living.

The Space

The room setup is what really sets this place apart. Since it’s a laneway house, you get way more space than your typical hotel — think modern loft meets cozy home. The design is clean and minimalist, but not in that cold, sterile way. There are thoughtful touches everywhere, from the lighting to the way they’ve maximized every square foot. You know what surprised me? How quiet it is, considering you’re still in the city. The laneway location actually works as a buffer from street noise, creating a peaceful retreat.

Practical Perks

Let’s talk about what actually matters when you’re traveling. The Wi-Fi is solid (I worked from here without issues), and having your own entrance feels pretty great after a long day exploring the city. The fact that recent guests keep rating it so highly tells you something — this isn’t just Instagram-pretty, it’s actually functional. Plus, being new means everything works properly, which sounds obvious but you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case. The kitchen is fully equipped for guests who want to prepare their own meals, adding another layer of convenience and flexibility to your stay.

Why Guests Love It

After staying here, I get why people keep coming back to this place. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re experiencing real Vancouver life while still having all the conveniences you need. The location gives you easy access to the rest of the city, but you’re staying somewhere that feels special and different. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own little modern hideaway in the city. It’s not trying to be fancy or over-the-top — it just does everything really well. This apartment represents the perfect balance of comfort, style, and authentic local experience.

Locals suggest to book apartments in Vancouver around Yaletown for waterfront happy hours, pilates studios, and leafy courtyards.

  Home away from home. Have everything we needed. Though the bed couch was a bit small for 2 big persons but comfortable enough. Very closed to city centre and the airport. It was raining most of our stay and Hannah gave us umbrellas to use. Thank you Hannah.
