Josh & Alison have the gift of hospitality! The attention to detail is warm & welcoming. Everything was perfect! The neighborhood is quiet & the walking trail across the street is a nice bonus. If you find yourself in Vancouver, you will not regret booking this "gem"! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Josh & Alison!

Just amazing - easy access - great communication - perfect location for both car or bus - clean - has all the little necessities- and to top it off a spa for a nice relax after all the hikes and bike rides.
We loved this Vrbo! Very clean and the perfect location. It was quiet and a great place to stay to get away from the busy city, but close enough to get to it! Great place! Will stay again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness, peaceful location, and easy access to the city. It was a pleasure hosting you.
From delicious coffee under the covered patio to sunset hot tubs, this was everything we were hoping for in a quite North Vancouver location. Friendly & wonderful hosts made our stay the perfect getaway while we explored every bit of Vancouver.
Lovely property, beautifully appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay. K-cups and Starbucks creamer was a great surprise. Loved the shower, used the washer/ dryer…all great. Highly recommend!
We spent 3 days in Vancouver! Beautiful stay at Josh and Alyson’s home. Situated in a beautiful area, easy access from downtown. Thank you, I hope to come back one day!

This property is in a great location - nice neighbourhood and easy to take public transit to get downtown. The house was very clean and Josh and Allison make you feel right at home.
We had the most amazing experience staying here during our visit to Vancouver. Josh and Alison were wonderful hosts. They were very warm and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and we definitely did! The suite had just been updated and was cozy and prestine. We would recommend this place to anyone visiting Vancouver!

Alison and Josh were warm, helpful and super kind. The house was kept in great condition, the instructions clear, and they made sure we had a good stay. Would recommend.
We really appreciated Josh and Allison’s warm welcome. Their house is cozy, clean and the hosts are always available to help and give their recommendations. We also enjoyed the hot tub and the calm of the backyard.
The accomodation was very nice. We made good use of the nearby walking trails and public transportation. Lonsdale Quay, Capilano Swinging Bridge and BC Place were all easy to reach. The hosts were generous with the shared common areas.
