Awesome “truly Vancouverite” stay

Wonderful, open plan heritage-style Vancouver house. And clean. Ken was excellent in his quick replies and accomodated our request to drop off luggage earlier than the check-in time. We had a family reunion at this home and it was magic. Many stairs on front and back doors, but with sold rails for anyone with mobility issues (but not for wheelchair). We’d make a booking again for the next Vancouver stay.

Girls’ getaway.

Pleasant stay. House is in a safe, walkable neighborhood with dining options about 3/4 mile away. The home is spacious with comfortable beds. Kitchen has plenty of dishes. Appliances are worn. Stairs to get into house and up to bedrooms. We arrived on a snowy day and found the walkways cleared for our safety. We very much appreciated the off street parking.

Comfortable House in Quiet Neighborhood

Our family of three adult couples stayed for one week in the house. The house is very comfortable with three nice bedrooms. With three couples, the flexibility of two and a half bathrooms was very good. The kitchen is adequately stocked. We prepared breakfast and several dinners and had all the tools required and sufficient plates, etc. We did not rent a car and relied on public transportation for travel which was very affordable. The house is convenient to several bus lines which provide very frequent service. The neighborhood is very quiet. There is a small deck off the kitchen which is a nice spot for sitting outside.

Great place!

Ken was a great host for a great home! It was everything this extended family (including toddlers and grandparents) needed for a short trip to Vancouver. The location was great too -- I loved staying in a classic craftsman neighborhood, and being able to drive to most places of interest within 20 minutes.

Quiet charming neighborhood

East side of Vancouver is a great place to stay. Most convenient to everything💞 Kens home was wonderful for the 6 of us. Cooked fabulous Sockeye salmon one night. Kitchen has everything need to cook dinner and then some. Beds great. One of us had a few mobility issues so sleep sofa very comfortable and downstairs bathroom was so convenient. Thanks Ken. Great stay in Vancouver.

Feels like being home

Thank you for the opportunity to stay in this wonderful house in a great neighbourhood that makes you feel not just like a tourist visiting but like a resident. The house has everything one might need and was our home in Vancouver for three weeks. The skytrain is close by and we did not even need a rental car all the time. We were able to enjoy all of the city's great places and also loved to come home in the evening. Just wonderful!!

Comfortable older home in a Vancouver neighborhood

Our family loved our stay in Ken's property. Ken was very attentive to the few questions we had. For our 3 generational group of 6 the bedrooms were just right. The parking in the rear was great. It had "old house" quirks that were part of the charm. It was fun to stay in a neighborhood rather than a large hotel with too much going on.

Great central location with lots of space

Excellent location close to downtown (convention centre), Granville Island, and Stanley Park. Large home with ample space and adequately furnished with all the necessities. The owner was very responsive to the very minor issue we had, and kindly provided a high chair for our toddler! We never had any problem finding a parking spot out front. We found it very family friendly but would recommend indoor shoes/slippers for the little ones - the floor was a bit splintery! Would stay here again and recommend it to our friends.
