Great small family or couples getaway.

My wife, 18mo old daughter and I stayed here for a three day weekend in January and the place was perfect. There was already a porta-crib and high chair for use and toys. That helped the packing situation a lot. The kitchen was fully stocked with supplies and staples and saved us $$$ when we didn't want to go out to eat. The only way it could have been better was if the weather was a little nicer; as we didn't get to use the patio.

The apartment was ridiculously clean and Linda was wonderful in every possible way. She was available to answer questions and help me get oriented in the apartment, the neighborhood and Vancouver generally. Very nice person. She'd even prepared a book with Commercial Drive information: restaurants, banks, parks, thngs to do, etc. The apartment is right off of Commercial Drive and about a 15 minute walk, or a quick bus ride, straight down Commercial to the train. (10 minute ride to downtown Vancouver.) And, there's a Starbucks on the way to the station! The apt is well equiped with everything you need for the kitchen, all linens, soap in the bathroom, ceiling fan in the bedroom, guide books and a television. The alarm clock has an ipod docking station. There's wifi but no phone. You can get a prepaid cell at any Petro Canada station if you're coming from the U.S. and want to avoid roaming charges. Commercial drive is a great walking neighborhood with lots of places to eat, interesting shops, a library, and a park, all in walking distance. If you stay here, you won't be sorry.

We were looking for a place to stay that would be welcoming of our 2 year old and would be a good base to get around Vancouver - this apartment was just right. It was quiet & clean and had everything we needed. The back patio was very pleasant - our daughter wanted to see the flowers every time we went out or came back. We especially appreciated the Pack n' Play and the books and toys available. We were able to go all over Vancouver but also enjoyed going to places on Commercial Drive, just steps away. Linda was very friendly & helpful and we felt very comfortable.

Linda was wonderful to us and very helpful with a long email about what to do with kids. 4 of us stayed here and it was a great experience. The place was clean and cozy, there's grocery shopping 1 block away, coffee and restaurants everywhere and only 15 mins from Vancouver downtown. A very convenient place perfect for families. She also has a nice big TV for movies at night if you wish to watch :-)

Our introduction to Vancouver was very enjoyable due to Linda's accommodation in a great location on Commercial Drive. This clean, comfortable apartment had absolutely everything that we needed and was a great base for getting around Vancouver. Thanks, Linda, for all the detailed information that was so helpful to us.

As my partner and I were relocating from Australia, we wanted to make sure that we had the most hassle & stress-free move possible - and this place definitely did NOT disappoint! From the moment we contacted the owner, to the day we checked out, we were greeted with such friendly service, even above and beyond our own expectations. Linda (the owner) helped give us information about anything & everything - including directions from the airport, all the different neighbouring areas, ski resorts, restaurants, where to rent a car, you name it - she was there to help us! Then after we arrived, we had everything we needed - from all the appliances, pots & pans, to wireless internet and wso many channels on cable tv that we couldn’t even count (it was like we were in our home!). And it suited us perfectly, as we could cook, yet be within a 2 minute walk of so many restaurants! The location was also ideal for us because we were in a 1 minute walk to the bus stop (you can buy a book of 10 tickets for $21 - with each ticket lasting 1.5hrs) and then we'd hop on one bus to Downtown or to the Sky Train Station. We also loved that the price included everything (no hidden charges like so many other places we enquired about), so we knew what to budget. Having a great place to stay has certainly made it an easy transition for us to Vancouver and an enjoyable stay so far and we thank Linda for making it so easy because we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you again, we will def recommend this to our family and friends that come to visit Vancouver!

We loved staying at your place. It was very quiet, clean and comfortable. Our kids enjoyed the neighborhood park and we had a hard time figuring out where to eat each day as there were so many choices! The cable TV was great for movies at night, kids shows and music. Linda gave us all the info we would need about places to go in the city. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed 5 nights at the end of August and found everything we needed within walking distance. It was also central to attractions. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Lots of useful information was provided on the area. There's lots to see and do

We came to Vancouver from Tucson, Arizona for a short visit. This was the perfect apartment for our family. We could walk down The Drive for any type of food, transportation was very accessible and the apartment was comfortable. It had everything we needed. We would recommend it to anyone.

Just want to say a big 'thank you' for everything. We enjoyed our stay at Urban Garden. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Even though it was located 1 minute from the Drive, which made it very convenient with regards to eating and getting to downtown, it was very quiet and peaceful. I would definitely recommend this place to friends who want the best of both worlds. You, as a host, have been so helpful, warm and welcoming even before we arrived.
