The “Brick house” was exactly as described in their advertisement. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, with ample parking. Great location, walking distance to many shops, grocery stores, restaurants, pubs, etc. It is handy to the beach, downtown and public transportation so we didn’t feel a need to rent a car.
The kitchen was well equipped to make meals but none of the basic condiments to make even a sandwich. The carving knives were dull and there was no bread knife. The suite was clean and tidy although a bit outdated. The linens were clean and fresh although there was a discrepancy in how many of each we started and ended with. Some of the electrical switches were a bit hard to locate and the pipes were noisy at times. There were ample ceiling fans which mitigated some of the heat that we were unable to control. The baseboard heaters seemed warm most of the time, the thermostat was locked at 24C, and the unnecessary heat cut in during the night. While the windows and patio doors provided a lot of natural lighting we would have liked more privacy. We enjoyed our stay in Vancouver and would consider renting in that neighborhood again.
