Aussie Family of four

Review Submitted: 01/17/12
Very central to downtown. Owner extremely helpful before and during stay but was too small for four adults and should only be rented to three at most. Did not use hottub and it rained most days we were there and it was not undercover but would have used had we had weather a bit dryer.
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children.
Cozy Rooms and a Wonderful Location

This was a cozy, quiet place to be in the chilly days of December, clean and everything new. The bed was comfortable as was the small sitting room. While the kitchenette is tiny, we were able to put some meals together. It was a perfect place for the two of us. Access to the wonderful hot tub out on the deck was wonderful! We really liked the neighborhood location a few blocks to major bus lines, restaurants and shops. Nice having access to downtown without being in the middle of downtown. Our host was very helpful and accommodating. We will recommend this lovely little place to friends and family and hope to visit again soon as we love Vancouver.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, age 55+.

The Garden apartment has great access to a fun dining/shopping area on Main Street. We drove and so we were able to explore the UBC area and Kerrisdale, as well as taking the bus and train to downtown areas. The apartment was thoughtfully furnished, and seemed almost brand new. It would be perfect for two people, but worked out well for a short stay with three adults. Thank you!

Main St Vineyard is conveniently located. Accomadations were clean,comfortable and quiet.The kitchen was very useable and well equipped.Mark & Leanne could not have been more gracious hosts. The backyard vineyard and hot tub were icing on the cake. We highly recommend some time at Queen Elizabeth Park. The Main St Vineyard exceeded all of our expectations. We highly recommend. Thanks Mark & Leanne. Bob & Jayne Pensacola Fl

My husband and I stayed for a week between weddings and had a wonderful time. It is exactly as written - neat, clean, very comfortable and contains all of the comforts of home. We had a guest with us for a few nights and she was very comfortable too! We loved it and will be back. The perfect base from which to explore Vancouver - quiet location, good on street parking or close to public transit. The perfect combination!

As first time visitors to Vancouver from New Zealand we found this apartment to be an excellent base in a quiet area. It had all the amenities we needed and the spa was a welcome pleasure after a long day out. Everything was clean and tidy. A 20 minute taxi ride from the airport and close to two bus routes made site seeing easy and enjoyable. Main Street has a wealth of interesting shops and eating establishments. We particularly enjoyed the Cottage Bistro. Mark and Leanne were always very helpful answering our many and varied questions and cheerful with it. This apartment is exceptionally good value. We would recommend it highly to prospective visitors to Vancouver.

This suite was perfect for our family (3 adults and two kids). We were very satisfied with all it offered. Close to bus routes and easy to get around, no need to rent a car. (We had a full-size stroller.) We highly recommend staying here to anyone and hope to come back again!

This was a lovely way to spend our short time in Vancouver. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Nice to be able to have a fridge and stove, just in case you want to cook. Great to sleep in a very cushey bed. The jaquzzi was just an added bonus each night. They have a cute little coffee shop just 4 doors down and other shops and restaurants are within walking distance. We will go back on our next trip. Thank you.

This unit was exactly as described and shown in the listing; a very quaint, comfortable one bedroom below the main house. The property was clean, well furnished and decorated and we slept as great as we would have at home. The paypal transaction couldn't have been smoother and all my questions were answered via email prior to booking. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a very central location to explore all around Vancouver. You helped to make our vacation a memorable one. Thank you.
Owner response:We enjoyed having Meg and she was a pleasure to have as a guest as well
