Outstanding host. Excellent and timely communication, nice location, spacious, good connectivity and well stocked. Would definitely choose to stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this property. It gave us a spacious and comfortable place to gather together as a family while celebrating our daughter’s graduation, which made the trip feel even more special. The thoughtful touches throughout the home really stood out — the complimentary house slippers, coffee, and tea were especially appreciated and made us feel welcomed right away.The location was quiet, peaceful, and easily walkable, which made getting around enjoyable. We also really enjoyed the outdoor furniture — the weather was beautiful during our stay, and having such a comfortable outdoor space was an unexpected bonus. Overall, it was a great place to relax, celebrate, and make family memories.
Dear Charles,
Thank you for your kind review! I'm so glad the location and space worked well for your family. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime!
Warm regards,

Great location! Very comfortable rooms and plenty of space to relax, eat, and enjoy Vancouver. Wish we could have stayed for at least a week instead of 24 hours.

Thank you for your kind review. Welcome to come back when you come to Vancouver in the future!
We purposely got a larger accommodation than we needed since we were not sure if additional travelers were able to come with us.Therefore, it was very roomy house of 3 bedrooms and 2 baths for 2 people.

The stove was old and didn’t work well. There was a lack of kitchen towels. There was a strong musty odour on arrival. Great location. Beds were comfortable.
It was a great stay, easy for family and spacious enough to be independant. Great location.

The property and booking process was fantastic. My family and I needed a one night stay before our cruise left Vancouver. The property was clean and in a great neighborhood. Highest recommendation!

Good location; accurate description and photos - house was functional with good sized rooms and space for us - beds comfortable and nice bathrooms; parking secure. Only concern is there are tenants in basement and food smells and noise- even conversation, can be heard on ground floor. Although separate space, was more connected than we expected with smells and noise.
We booked this property for a family stay during our daughter’s graduation and it was a great fit. There was lots of space for our adult children and baby granddaughter. Everything was clean, well organized and it was in a great neighbourhood. We appreciated how easy it was to relax and spend time together. Our only small suggestion would be to add more comfortable seating in the front room to make it even more cozy. Overall it was a very positive experience.

More extra comforters for the couch and a bigger trash can in the kitchen would have been nice but everything else was good

We had a great stay in this amazing Vancouver neighborhood house, which was centrally located and felt very safe for three women. The house has charming historic character and was spotless. We shopped at nearby Choice Natural Market and cooked some great dinners in the well-stocked kitchen. Downtown was an easy Uber ride away. A great find!

Perfect for our family of 7. Very clean. Kitchen well equipped. Safe feeling area and several restaurants in walking distance. Bedding was very comfortable and the house has lovely character. There was a lack of sofa chairs in the unit which would have added to the comfort, but the dining space was lovely. Thank you!
This house was just right for us. It is a good size and in a good location and the price was reasonable especially for a major city. It has parking. There are a couple of nearby restaurants and it is also walkable to a grocery store and pharmacies. We found it to be quiet, with comfortable beds and comforters. Good appliances and a nice big TV. Alice was nice to communicate with. We would stay there again.

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! I’m so glad to hear the home was a good fit for your extended stay — especially that you found it quiet, comfortable, and well-located for your needs. I truly appreciate your comments about the beds, amenities, and overall value — and it was a pleasure communicating with you as well.
You’re welcome back anytime, and I’d be happy to host you again on your next visit to Vancouver!
Warm regards,

They double booked, sent a text 2 days before our stay. 6 of us travelling from all over the province had to scramble to find another place.

Dear Cheyenne,
I'm truly sorry for the stress caused by the booking conflict. Due to a rare calendar sync error through Hosthub, your reservation was double-booked, and we had to notify you as soon as it was detected. I completely understand how upsetting this was — especially when coordinating travel for a group.
That said, we want to clarify for future guests that, unfortunately, your group did not stay at the property. The rating reflects frustration with the booking issue, not the home or stay itself. We’ve since fixed the calendar sync issue to ensure this won’t happen again.
I sincerely regret the disruption this caused and wish you all the best in your future travels.
Warm regards,
Angie
About the host

Meet Your Hosts: Alice and Angie
Welcome! We are Alice and Angie, local Vancouver hosts who enjoy helping guests have a comfortable and memorable stay.
Angie immigrated to Canada in 1999 and has a background in computer science, software development, real estate, and property management. Alice and Angie share a passion for hospitality and enjoy welcoming guests from around the world.
We love Vancouver's natural beauty, diverse culture, and friendly communities. Whether you're visiting UBC, exploring the city, enjoying the beaches, or spending time with family and friends, we're happy to share local recommendations to help you make the most of your stay.
Our goal is simple: to provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming place where guests can relax and feel at home while experiencing everything Vancouver has to offer.
Why they chose this property
I chose the Dunbar neighbourhood because it offers the perfect balance of peace, convenience, and natural beauty. It's one of Vancouver's most desirable residential areas, known for its tree-lined streets, friendly community, and family-oriented atmosphere.
One of my favourite things about Dunbar is how close it is to both nature and city amenities. Pacific Spirit Regional Park is just minutes away and offers beautiful trails for walking, jogging, and cycling. Jericho Beach, Spanish Banks, and other scenic waterfront areas are also nearby, making it easy to enjoy Vancouver's outdoor lifestyle.
At the same time, Dunbar has a wonderful selection of local cafés, restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences. Whether you're grabbing a morning coffee, exploring the neighbourhood, or visiting nearby UBC, everything is easily accessible.
What I enjoy most is the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. It's a quiet, safe neighbourhood where guests can unwind while still being close to downtown Vancouver, UBC, beaches, parks, and many of the city's top attractions.
For visitors looking to experience the best of Vancouver, Dunbar offers an ideal combination of comfort, convenience, and West Coast charm.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property unique is the combination of space, comfort, and location. While many Vancouver accommodations are apartments or smaller suites, this spacious retreat offers three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, generous living areas, and outdoor space, making it ideal for families, visiting academics, professionals, and groups of friends.
Guests especially appreciate the private backyard and deck, where they can enjoy a quiet morning coffee or relax after a day of exploring the city. The bright living and dining areas provide plenty of room to gather, while the fully equipped kitchen makes longer stays comfortable and convenient.
Another standout feature is the location. Situated in Vancouver's desirable Dunbar neighbourhood near UBC, the property offers a peaceful residential setting while remaining close to beaches, parks, shopping, restaurants, and major attractions. Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Jericho Beach, and the University of British Columbia are all just minutes away.
Free parking, a family-friendly environment, and easy access to public transit further enhance the guest experience.
Most importantly, we strive to provide a welcoming, well-maintained space where guests can relax, feel at home, and enjoy the best of Vancouver.
