About the host
Hosted by Demitri Douzenis
When on the road, my family and I have been staying at short-term rentals since 2014, as hotels couldn't fully accommodate the five of us. We love experiencing cities and the authenticity of neighbourhoods wherever we visit. Staying in homes affords us the opportunity to cook with local ingredients, and relax with space.
After many years of being the "traveler," we decided to host our own place! All of our experiences have shown us what we like and don't like, what works and what doesn't. Our suite is a reflection of that. Everything there is done with purpose, intent and care.
My wife and I work from home and our children are doing their schooling online - which gives us the flexibility to travel and experience new places.

Why they chose this property
Kitsilano has been my home since 1980. I grew up playing street hockey in the back lanes with my friends and making Easter lamb and having big Greek parties in the backyard. It's a beautiful, quiet and safe neighbourhood, with loads of trees to give you shade as you go for a walk and great, friendly neighbours. It's completely walkable too, with shops, groceries, restaurants, schools, playgrounds...and the beach nearby.
What makes this property unique
As you enter the property, you'll find the courtyard, which is your space, save for when someone requires only to pass through for access to the main house. You have your own door, 100% your own internal space, and 100% your own private, covered patio.
1200 square foot (111 sq metre) ground-level apartment for your exclusive use.
