For clarification, we booked the entire house (3 bedrooms) - this listing was changed after we booked to the 1 bedroom listing. For those wondering, this house has 2 separate doorways once you enter the front door - 1 that goes up to 2 bedrooms upstairs, and 1 that goes to a living area/kitchen and then has stairs that go down to a 1 bedroom/en-suite bathroom and laundry area downstairs.
This house is in a great location in Kitsilano - very close to key Vancouver attractions, but on a side street that feels more quiet. It requires on-street parking, which is always easy to find. The house is walking distance to a liquor store and a really awesome Italian restaurant called Raviolino.
The house is very nicely updated - you can see the high end touches everywhere - from the Bosch appliances to the LG washer/dryer and Dyson handheld vacuum. There were 3 full bathrooms, 2 of which were en-suite.
The one thing that we wished for was that the unit could have been better stocked with supplies. For example, we bought eggs assuming that there would be supplies to fry them, but there was no oil or cooking spray provided. The only cooking ingredients provided were a little bit of salt, pepper, and some sugar. So I would recommend if you're staying there and plan on cooking, that you go to the house first, assess what is there, and buy all the supplies that you need.
The one thing I would add that I hope is helpful for other families is that this house is not young kid friendly. Meaning - the 3-bedroom unit is located across 3 floors, which means 2 sets of slippery wooden stairs, and no gates provided. We have a very active 1 year old and spent the weekend trying to prevent him from getting up and down the stairs, and as well, there were drawers and cabinets in the bathrooms and kitchens that he could access easily, including one low drawer in the kitchen that contained a lot of knives. Again, this would be fine if you have older kids, but just wanted to point this out for families with younger kids.
The owner of this house, Jack, is extremely responsive and will immediately contact you back via text, phone, or email if you have any questions or concerns. Of note, my husband is a huge New England Patriots fan, and the weekend we were there, the game was on Monday night and my husband contacted Jack about adding a channel just to watch this game, and he did! We loved our stay in Vancouver, thank you!
