Perfect family home in excellent location

This home was wonderful for our family trip to Vancouver. There are several parks and many restaurants just a short walk away. The kitchen was well-equipped and had many items on hand for home-cooked meals. We especially appreciated the variety of toys available, including trains, figurines, and dress up clothes!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your family had a great time in Vancouver and that the home worked well for your stay. It makes us especially happy to know the toys were a hit—those trains and costumes have brought a lot of joy to our own kids over the years, and it's wonderful to see them enjoyed by others too. I'm also glad the kitchen setup helped make meals easy and enjoyable. We'd love to welcome you back anytime—whether it’s for more adventures in the city or another round of dress-up fun! Warmly, Darius & family

Foodie Vancouver first-timer finds perfection

Six nights in this gracefully aging charmer, feeling guilty about having to decide between the excellent Commercial Drive restaurants within a 10-minute walk, or taking advantage of the top-notch markets on Commercial and coming back to cook in this terrific, fully appointed chef's kitchen.This was my first trip to Vancouver and I can't think of a better home base from which to explore. Four bedrooms all are clean, comfortable and spacious. Those four bedrooms , plus the lone bathroom, all are upstairs. Never had to worry about finding street parking and never felt unsafe doing so.I'd definitely stay again at this property should the opportunity arise..
