Lovely character suite, in very convenient, lush, West Side Neighbourhood

Our lovely 950 sq. ft. garden suite is conveniently located near coffee shops, restaurants, stores and all major banks. The main bedroom is very large with a king sized bed and a convertible king sized sofa bed. Our third bedroom is a converted den, so it undersized but does contain a double bed and is private. While we have enough beds and can accommodate up to 8 adults, you should carefully review the number of beds, and confirm details of your stay with me in advance of booking more than 6 people. We will charge an extra cleaning fee of $40 for groups greater than 6.

We are 10-15 minutes from the downtown core, only 6 kms from the airport and right beside public transit, in a very friendly neighborhood. We are very outgoing and open as we are both from the performing arts and were/are performers. We love hosting and are really happy to answer all your questions ranging from getting around in the city to where to find a good burger, a vegetarian meal, an interesting show or a great place for a walk.

We provide, a semi full and brand new kitchen and utensils (we do not however, have a stove), a brand new bosch dishwasher all bedding, all utilities, wireless internet, full premium cable TV and washer/dryer. Our sheets and covers are 300- 450 thread count.

There are dropped ceilings in certain parts of the suite and in the bathroom, and the showerhead is quite low, which could be an inconvenience for some people. Please contact us, if you are concerned about this. Vancouver is similar to a rain forest, with many more trees and vegetation than you would encounter in most cities. While most love that about the city, it means we have to contend with more insects and small animals in our area than you would normally expect. Also, this is a lovely home but it is not a brand new home.

There is easily accessible street parking, but there may be issues with longer term parking on the street. Our parking fee is $15.00 per day, but we feel that most will be very happy with the basically free street parking, very close by. Please indicate that you want to use our parking if you do. There are additional fees for extra guests after the first 3.

Check in at 4 PM, check out at 11 AM. Late check in's are possible but may attract an additional fee. Late check out's need to be arranged with us and also may attract a separate fee. 10 PM is quiet time. Pets are welcome and we charge $15.00/day for parking and $15/day per day per pet.

We don't allow smoking inside the suite, but there is a convenient sitting area just outside the suite where you can smoke. For stays that are month long, we will provide a cleaning service once every two weeks, or more by request, that will be charged at our usual cleaning rate.

Effective as of April 1, we will be charging a 5% sales tax.

This suite was nicely located south of downtown just off a main road making easy access to the city. Hosts were available, communicated promptly, and had good info for the area! Nice little outside area to sit and / or eat. Suite was comfortable, with enough space for all five of us. Only, hard to change, issue was the shower is very short. Would recommend to others !

Was everything we wanted and needed for a five-night stay. Owners live upstairs and were readily available for questions and dining recommendations. Clean, comfortable beds, enough space, nice little outside area, great selection of restaurants, grocery, and liquor store in walking distance. Just don't try to turn left onto Granville Street. 😜 Surprisingly quiet for being on busy street. A few lower ceiling spots as others have noted, including shower, but manageable.

extremely convenient location
Harvey reached out to us with driving instructions days before we arrived. Very appreciated. A short taxi ride of ~CAD$50 took five of us from the airport to the house. Harvey and Jen welcomed us into the first floor of the house, where we stayed for 4 nights. The location was excellent, extremely friendly for people who love walking around, 1) a few steps to a bus terminal and easy access to a few bus routes. We took buses everywhere the first 3 days of the stay 2) many interesting and good Asian restaurants nearby to choose from. Red star seafood restaurant is particularly amazing. 3) Safeway, a local Chinese grocery and a number of little spa shops nearby 4) a very green neighborhood with big trees. Hawk watching at the end of the street was a new hobby I developed during the stay. The laundry suite is outside, which we only used once during our stay. The drier worked intermittently. There's also a restriction on how many time you can launder per day. It doesn't bother us. The place is very clean, and at least half above the ground. It does occasionally smell a bit of basement when one just entered it. Floors are a little creaky, especially at night, but we are all sound sleepers and so no issue for us. We only saw one spider during our stay and so I wouldn't consider the statement true that this place has bugs. Beds are very comfy, even the makeshift sofa ones.

BMO 1/2 Marathon
We stayed at this address for the BMO 1/2 Marathon that some members of our family were participating in, ease to get to transit was a bonus. Short walk to a great green space & playground for the little ones. Only downfall in the accommodations was the ceiling height, you had to remember to duck your head in a couple spots, otherwise we found it to meet our needs.

Great place, exactly what we were looking for. Lovely hosts.
Had a great time at the property, close to lots of good food, close to lots of good trails to walk/hike, and just a short drive to downtown for some night life. Wonderful hosts, cute dog was definitely a plus!!

Basement Suite in South Vancouver
Nice place. Nice location, however as it was a basement suite in an older home, we could clearly hear the activity upstairs, the floors squeaking and the toilet flushing, and it was very difficult to sleep. The ceilings are very low and the shower head was extremely low as well. The toilet wasn't cleaned properly.

Just what we needed
My husband & I plus our adult son with his 2 dogs were so appreciative of having a level entry (no stairs) 2+ bedrooms to stay while attending a celebration of life for my mom. The dogs are very old with arthritis and could not be left with anyone & can't do stairs Our Hosts live upstairs so were always available but not intrusive. Arrived later than expected due to terrible weather/drive. So we were all a little cranky. Our Hosts were most gracious. Beds comfy. Kitchen & bathroom nicely updated. All the mod cons. Yes..Our son is over 6ft so ducking your head required at some low ceiling spots. Otherwise...we couldn't have asked for a better fit
