Fantastic quiet place to stay with plenty of room and brilliant facilities. 5/5 would stay again
Staying a Howie's place was a pleasure he's a superb host and I'm sad I didn't get to spend more time chatting with him!
We definitely be coming back again!
The basement apartment is beautifully decorated with original artworks and has a plethora of useful and thoughtful amenities. You can really tell Howie cares for his guests in a proactive and caring way.
One exceptional example of this was the small library of books which was greatly appreciated. The apartment is really close to the main road which I thought might be an issue but you cannot hear it at all and proved to be really convenient for travelling around all of Vancouver.
It's a super easy drive to downtown but feels much safer and relaxed. It's also only a few dollar's taxi ride to the seabus to downtown so if you're visiting Van and want to see the sights this is a really great option.
Overall excellent experiences highly recommend!
We stayed in Howie's lovely flat for our first stay upon moving to Vancouver. We loved it and couldn't recommend enough. We loved it so much we we ended up staying for longer than planned! Howie & family are super friendly, the flat was perfectly kitted out including a ready to go kitchen and a desk set up - with one of us working remotely from the flat, that was ideal and the wifi was super quick! Safeway's opposite makes it super easy to pick up supplies and great access to the highway to get anywhere in Vancouver or even straight up to Whistler. Would highly recommend for anyone looking!
The apartment was perfect for our needs and really well located to explore the North Shore. The apartment was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Howie was a great host and his suggestions for places to visit were much appreciated.
Howie was the perfect host even before we arrived.
The property is beautifully furnished & it's location just outside the city was perfect to relax but with easy access to downtown.
With mountain views & so many wonderful things to do close by, it was the perfect place for our honeymoon & we would return in a heartbeat.

Excellent apartment at a reasonable price.
Initially we looked at renting an apartment in Vancouver City for our ten day stay in March 2018 but chose Howie's apartment in North Vancouver as the cost was considerably less. We were pleased we made that decision. The journey from Howie's apartment, via bus and ferry was not onerous and quite enjoyable. Public transport in Vancouver is superb. Additionally Howie kindly picked us up from the ferry on the evening of our arrival and dropped us back there the day of our departure. North Vancouver is convenient to access Grouse Mountain and other attractions plus the apartment is only a short walk away from a supermarket, other shops, a coffee shop and a decent Japanese restaurant.The accommodation has been well described by other reviewer. It was very clean, quite luxurious and comprehensively equipped. Howie gave us useful local information. Overall we would wholeheartedly recommend this apartment.

A top quality apartment with excellent facilities.
We had a wonderful stay at Howie's apartment. There was everything we could have asked for and more. Howie was very helpful with suggestions and tips on visiting places. We love Vancouver and will certainly come back here and recommend to others this apartment to rent.
2nd stay at Howies wonderful spot in North Van.The unit is impeccably clean and well equipped with cutlery, utensils, dishware etc.Howie is excellent at staying in touch and responding to needs.The unit is quiet and conveniently located.
Right off the highway, Howie’s home is easily accessible but still quiet and cozy. The suite is down a staircase to a private entrance to the basement of the home. Howie was a very communicative host and we felt very comfortable there. If you have a car, this is a great place to stay - free parking, easy drive to the city and super easy drive to cypress for skiing!
This property was perfect for my wife and I’s weekend getaway to north Vancouver. Howie was extremely friendly and ensured every need was met. We would highly recommend and would definitely stay again next time we return.
This suite was exactly as described and completely outfitted with high end amenities. The host couldn’t have been more accommodating or easy to deal with. We would highly recommend it and will stay there again. We were happy it was available on our dates!
It was cozy and comfortable and very clean. I had three wonderful sleeps in a comfortable bed. Howie was a great host and I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed at this fabulous apartment from a Wednesday to Saturday. Howie was nothing but amazing! He communicates well and wants everything to be perfect for his guest! He is very helpful when it comes to transportation and providing the best information possible. He made it so easy and accommodating for us. When I come back to Vancouver I will definitely be staying with him! Thank you for an amazing 4 days
Spacious and clean, all renovated. Walking distance or public transit to North Vancouver points of interest. Bus ride + sea bus to the Vancouver proper area. Howie was very responsive.
Great place to stay in north Vancouver. The home was quiet and beautifully appointed with everything we needed and more prior to setting sale on a cruise. Despite close location to the freeway, it was very quiet with an awesome mattress to provide very restful sleeps. Excellent location within walking distance to Safeway and a variety of restaurants.
Howie was kind and accommodating. Would absolutely stay again.
This was the perfect place to stay for my husband and I on our trip to Vancouver.
Howie was a great host. He greeted us on arrival and showed us the accommodation. He also gave us info about the surrounding area.
The place was spacious and immaculate. It had everything we needed and more. Howie has thought of everything.
Being in north Vancouver, it was very close to Grouse Mountain and Lynn Canyon.
You can also easily catch the Seabus ferry from Lonsdale Quay across to the Waterfront in Vancouver.
Not only was this a lovely property with a gorgeous backyard and a friendly, helpful host who goes out of his way to make sure you are superbly comfortable, it had an advantage which is hard to find in most other properties, the ability to bring your bikes or e-bikes and store them securely in a locked garage when not in use.
So nicely situated in north Vancouver. Easy to get to sea bus and explore the city .

About the host
Hosted by Howie Todd
My wife and I operated a bed and breakfast in Vancouver for years and then graduated into short term and medium term condo rentals. WE love this business
Why they chose this property
A retreat for skiers, hikers, or business people who are looking for the larger convenience of a fully equipped suite that hotels cannot offer, at this great value.
What makes this property unique
Close to 3 ski hills, Grouse, Cypress and Seymour. We stand out because of fresher air, cleaner water and quiet neighbourhood. plus you are only a 15 minute bus ride, or SeaBus ride into Vancouver's vibrant city centre.
