Great stay

We were in Vancouver over Christmas, visiting our daughter who attends UBC. The house is located five minutes from the west side of campus and a great grocery store so very convenient! it’s in a very nice/quiet neighborhood. It was very clean and well appointed. Would certainly stay here again.

Perfect stay in Vancouver

Really great place for a small family. Clean and cool, and the owner was great about getting us checked in early and extending our stay due to flight scheduling issues. Central location made it convenient to get where we needed to be. The only reason I didn’t rate the place 5/5 for cleanliness is because there were wet towels left in washer, which wasn’t a big deal. Otherwise, 5/5.

Lovely stay near Pacific Spirit Park and UBC

We had such a wonderful stay! Juliette is a fantastic host. We really enjoyed this spacious and quiet unit….we have never slept better. The unit was equipped with everything we needed for our stay and the proximity to Pacific Spirit Park is incredible. We really enjoyed morning walks in the park. The daily greetings from the adorable and friendly dogs were so nice, it felt like home. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Nice place but nothing fancy

It was ok for our needs. We were going to the Folk Festival and it was close by and easy to get in and out. We had some issues with the shower in the master bath but the owner responded with getting a plumber to fix it. We also felt that the second bedroom needed more pillows and again the owner brought us a new set. We felt that for the price it was ok. Again nothing fancy, and if you were to want to cook I would not say that it was outfitted well. We ate out except for breakfast and it was ok for that.

Point Grey apartment

This was excellent lodging for two couples for one week in Vancouver. Having two bathrooms was perfect, and the living room was very comfortable for all of us. Because it is a basement unit it stayed cool during a week of mid 70 degree (F) weather. With the floor fans provided it likely would have been fine even with rarer higher temperatures. Motion sensing outside lights made it safe to use the outside stairs at night...The neighborhood shopping street on 10th Ave a 10 minute walk away had everything we needed: grocery store, liquor store, pharmacy, hardware, coffee houses and bakeries. And several restaurants, including Greek, Indian and Japanese. It does not, however, have a late-night scene like the West End or Commercial Drive. Several bus lines are nearby and it took little time to get to UBC or downtown with the express 99 bus. Interestingly, the Uber rates were about half of what I pay at home in San Francisco.

Great property close to UBC

We have stayed in this suite twice. It is clean, spacious, light and well appointed. West Point Grey is outside Vancouver’s heavy traffic. So, it’s easy to pop out for food, to shops and to UBC. It is half a block from Pacific Spirit Park. I would highly recommend it to friends and family.

Nice property in a quiet neighborhood.

Great basement level apartment, close to parks and museums. Short drive to downtown Vancouver. Nice to have two full bathrooms. Needs a little extra attention to clean the shower floor in the primary suite and vent hood above the stove. Other than that, nice rental!
