About this property
A Gentle Hideaway in the Urban Forest｜WEST END downtown Vancouver
Welcome to this cozy little home tucked away in the heart of Vancouver’s West End.
Nestled in a quiet courtyard unit on the tree-lined Comox Street, this home offers a serene, intimate escape from the city’s hustle. Step through the glass doors and you’ll find a petite yet charming garden patio — the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a quiet evening under rustling leaves.
Just outside your door is the vibrant heart of the West End. Cafés, restaurants, and local shops along Davie Street bring the neighborhood to life with warmth and character. A short stroll takes you to the golden sunsets and sea breeze of English Bay, or the shaded trails and seawall of Stanley Park — all just minutes away for drive.
Our comfortable apartment features 2 bedrooms with 2 Queen-sized beds. Ample closet space, and cozy linens. Enjoy the open-concept living area, which includes 3 stylish sofas, and a dining table for 4-6. The fully equipped kitchen comes with modern appliances, including a fridge, stove, microwave, and coffee maker.
1.5 bathrooms. The full bathroom is equipped with tailor-made accessories and carefully selected decorations. Wi-Fi, TV, and washing machine/dryer.
When you arrive, everything will be ready to welcome you in the best conditions: sheets, towels and bath supplies, coffee, and tea. In addition, our key box is locked in the front door, and you can check in automatically after 4 pm.
It’s a quiet retreat with the city at your fingertips —
and I hope that during your stay, you won’t feel like a guest,
but like the main character in your own little story.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle
My name is Michelle and welcome to my little home.
This is a place filled with memories and stories. I lived here with my two sons for five years—our laughter, growth, and the passing seasons have quietly become part of every corner of this home. Now that we’ve moved to another city, this little world of ours is beginning a new chapter—as an Airbnb, welcoming friends from all over the world.
I’ve always believed that a home is more than just a space—it’s a vessel for time, for feeling. As a host, my greatest hope is to offer travelers a gentle place to pause, where even in a new city, they can feel a sense of peace and belonging.
Thank you for choosing to stay here. I hope this home becomes a soft and memorable part of your journey.
