About this property

Patio Zen in the City, Steps from ‘The Drive’

Private and modern, this spacious 2BR 2BA apartment in a 107-year-old fully restored character home just off of Hip, Live, Eclectic, Commercial Drive is the perfect home base for your Vancouver visit.

This 1000 square foot home provides plenty of socializing space with a great open kitchen and dining area. With 2 full bathrooms, everyone has personal space.

Double glass doors open to extend the living space to the outdoors, seamlessly. Beautifully landscaped with Wisteria , Azalea, and a grapevine, the Patio Suite garden provides colourful shades to the sunny southern exposure, and providing privacy for the large, sunny, patio.

Fully equipped kitchen, a moveable island and a table for 6 provide room for everyone to dine together, and a dishwasher for the mess. Plenty of towels and linens, and in-suite laundry to keep it all fresh.

Stylish and fully equipped, this is the perfect home base for larger families and groups wanting to experience the local scene that is 'The Drive' while exploring Vancouver.

Vancouver's most diverse neighbourhood, Commercial Drive offers the widest range of culinary and cultural experience available in the city and it's literally steps outside your door. Live entertainment, festivals, arts, community, beautiful gardens and some of the city's most historic architecture are what this eclectic neighbourhood represent.

Steps away from local transit that will take you to any of the city's major tourist destinations within 20 minutes or you can just rent a local bike and take the scenic route along the many bike paths and routes in the same amount of time (recommended). Bus stop is 100 meters away, bike rental station is around the corner and the train station is about a 10-15 minute walk.

Enjoyable stay
Most enjoyable stay in Vancouver. Well set up accommodation. Would suggest a larger kettle though, that whistles when boiled.

Great place, great neighborhood
We really enjoyed our stay here. The online description was very accurate and the proximity to the Commercial Drive neighborhood was fantastic. The host was available but we really didn’t have any further needs. Everything we wanted was there already. Would definitely return to stay here!

Nice quiet suite in trendy neighborhood
Suite was very clean. Had great communication with the property manager. He was very responsive, even doing some laundry for us when the washer quit working. Only ongoing issue was the TV, which didn't want to work for us much of the time. But, we still had a great time! Major commercial street just half a block away with many restaurants and market options. Watch where you park. Limited space for vehicles without permits. On our last night we parked to close to the intersection and our rental car was towed.

Fabulous place for a visit
A great place to stay, so close to fun and unique Commercial Drive with many choices and boutique place to eat, have coffee and shop! Robert and his wife were quick to respond to wifi issues. Wifi was slow at times. It was lovely and clean. There are more beds in the 2 rooms than in the photos, a queen or double bed in each room as well as a single bed. The kitchen was well stocked and good to cook in. We can highly recommend Robert’s place. Thanks for a great home away from home!

This rental was in the perfect location for restaurants and shopping…..the problem is the parking…you need to have a permit to park on most streets, we did not know that…the apartment itself was lovely..

Perfect place to stay in Vancouver
We loved everything about this property. It had everything we needed- lots of room for our toddler to run around, a great patio space for us to enjoy when she finally fell asleep, functional kitchen, comfortable beds and couch, good shower, and very well located just off of commercial drive and close to parks. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
