This was the perfect location for getting our daughter settled at UBC. We were 15 minutes from campus, and 20-30 minutes from the airport, shopping, downtown...anywhere we needed to be. The unit is perfect for a small family, plenty of living, eating and sleeping space. It's in a lovely neighborhood for walks with easy street parking. Best of all are the kind and hospitable hosts. We had a lovely stay and hope to be back.

Beautiful Private Townhouse

Doug and Delores were very kind and helpful to us throughout our stay. The basement suite itself was beautiful. We were able to explore Vancouver and have a comfortable and private suite to return to each night. We were fortunate that their property was available and look forward to potentially returning in the future!

This cute little suite was perfect for what we needed! The beds were comfy, the den area was great for relaxing after a day of activities, and the location made it easy to get around using only public transit. Doug was a fantastic, helpful host who greeted us on arrival. We had a great time and highly suggest staying at this property!

The Optimal Home Away From Home

A comfortable lodging within the neighbourhood of small shops, our welcoming hosts provided a fully equipped place to stay. Our visit to the city became a bit less stressful given the thoughtfulness of our hosts in anticipating our needs. We have no reservations in highly recommending this location to potential visitors.
