  • Waking up and having a nice cup of tea in the morning is just one of the things we love about the apartment. The bright and airy living room is exceptionally welcoming. P.S. Linda is super nice and helpful.

  • We stayed four nights with two kids and had a wonderful time. The apartment is tastefully furnished and had everything we needed. It is located in a great urban neighborhood with beautiful turn-of-the-century architecture, towering trees and flowers blooming. The apartment is close to and yet secluded from a fascinating stretch of shops, bars, fruit markets, restaurants and coffeehouses. The buildings are human scale and the streetlife very interesting and diverse. A bit of a counterculture time warp. Jugglers, dancers, saxophonists. Old men gathered over cappuccinos. One early morning a baker tossed me a warm loaf of bread out a second-story window. This place is something special.

  • The apartment is fantastic. I booked the apartment for my father who was visiting us from the UK. He loved the apartment and location so much that he will be staying there again next year. The apartment is beautifully furnished with quality sheets and towels. Everything was immaculate. The private patio was a great place to have his morning cup of tea. We love the Commercial Drive area and so does my father. The apartment is located just steps from great coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, funky shops, and parks. With the bus around the corner and the Skytrain a short walk, he was able to do some sightseeing on his own.

  • Fantastic location and amazing facilities with everything you could possibly need during your stay provided. The apartment itself is cozy and quiet, however its only footsteps away from commercial drive so all the entertainment and amenities are just around the corner. Commercial drive is a very diverse and friendly neighborhood offering a huge range of places to eat and drink, however should you wish to go downtown the transit links are only a short walk from the apartment. I loved the place so much what was originally supposed to be a stay of only a couple of weeks turned out to be eight months. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

  • The entire Web site description was very helpful - of the apartment and neighborhood. The pictures of the apartment, very thorough. Very cozy for a couple, clean, patio Adirondack chairs and garden were great for a mornining coffee and read, on a good weather day. We loved the location - "The Drive" turned out to be a fantastic place to discover food, fun and music! Easy access to the greater Vancouver area via bus and train encouraged us to get out there!!! Thanks so much for making our Vancouver stay really fun.

  • Great apartment in a great area. It was tastefully furnished, bright, comfortable, and spotless. The patio doors look out onto a private garden area that was a great place to relax. The Commercial Drive area is the best kept secret in Vancouver. I particularly enjoyed trying out the restaurants (Mexican, Italian, Cuban, Caribbean, Thai, Portugese) and coming across jam sessions of music in the local park. The apartment is handy to public transit so I could be downtown in less than 20 minutes. By staying on The Drive I got to see and experience the real Vancouver.

  • We did so much enjoy our time at the apartment. The close proximity to downtown Vancouver, without being within the concrete jungle, was excellent. Public transport was a joy what with buses, Skytrain and Seabus all interconnected and cheap. We found Commercial Drive so diverse, especially with the countless choices of coffee shops, bars, restaurants and funky shops within a few steps of our accommodation. While at the apartment we enjoyed walking around the neighbouring streets with their interesting houses and varied people. The apartment itself was very modern, warm, cosy, clean and safe. Linda made us very welcome and was extremely helpful with local information, especially Commercial Drive activities. The wireless internet access made keeping in touch easy and snuggling up on the couch in front of the cable TV was bliss after a long day of touristy pursuits. The apartment was a 'home away from home' and we found it the best of our accommodation experiences in Canada.
