Was such a great place to call home for a bit
I personally chose this property because I wanted to stay in this neighborhood as we are currently thinking about moving to Vancouver. I will say that I have never felt more at home than in this property and this neighborhood. When I was on the front porch there were countless people who said hello and asked how my stay was in Vancouver. Where I"m from the only sight you see of your neighbor is their tail lights in the garage as the door closes.I want to first say that this property far exceeded my expectations. Lupe/Mike have taken the time and thought to make sure you have everything you need and more. They take the time to care for this property and it shows, that is why their policies are in place. I really cant say there was anything they missed, even had extra blankets/sheets/towels, etc., all marked with yellow post it notes (You will know what I'm saying.....). This place was also SO CLEAN, which in the industry is hard to find. I just cant say enough good things about this property, oh yeah I'm bring my spouse back are in 2 weeks to stay again.Thank you so much for making my stay a memorable one.

Great Home in Uptown Vancouver
What a cute, cozy getaway! This home had everything you could ever need. The hosts were very responsive and had little notes everywhere explaining things-really appreciated that. The location is great, as it’s near Uptown with great restaurants, shops and cafes within walking distance. We definitely will be back.

Visit to Vancouver
First impressions: lovely front yard , nice landscaping, well cared for. Porch: comfy seats, inviting a rest.
House. Very clean, smells fresh . Big kitchen, appointed with everything one could wish for to prepare a dinner.
Large bedroom, lots of storage, comfortable bed.
Small bedroom with pullout bed, was comfortable for one of the guests who is light. Bathroom between the two bedrooms was fine . Living room with plenty of comfortable seats. Laundry room is large and washer and dryer worked well .
Lots of welcome goodies in kitchen.
Quiet neighborhood!

Great stay
Charming bungalow in a quiet neighborhood. Easy parking access via alley. I could see myself making a home in the lovely spot.
Plenty of restaurants with easy parking. The Green Chile burger and fried brussel sprouts at Pacific House were fabulous. Carol's Corver Cafe served up delicious breakfast in massive proportions.

It is exceptionally well supplied for in home cooking and dining which works for us when we invite our son, daugther and granddaughter over for a family dinner during our yearly visits.

Exploring Vancouver
Property was charming and well maintained, the check in process seamless. The location was amazing and so close to the waterfront and downtown area. It was raining most of my time in Vancouver but the cottage was so relaxing and the surroundings beautiful, I highly recommend this cottage whether you are there for a brief stay or something a bit more lengthy.

Great little house!
This is a great little place for two people, or maybe two people with a young child or maybe two. Very clean, very quiet. Parking is plentiful behind the house. I would not recommend for two couples-- The second bedroom is very tiny. Otherwise, the house is very well setup to cook and to stay for a while. A bus line is close by, a bakery is just across the street, and the new New Seasons grocery store less than a mile away is huge plus if you want great groceries and prepared food items.

Charm from the Past
This older house has been carefully remodeled into a small and comfortable little gem, located in a very quiet well-kept neighborhood. The owners have provided most everything expected for a comfortable visit for two adults and maybe one small child. It's not the Ritz but met our needs very well.

Wonderful place to stay, Felt like my home away from home truly
I had a wonderful time there and it was a great location. I had to go up a day early due to freeze warnings and Lupe had availability and let me check in spur the moment which was wonderful. They checked on me and were very friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit at this home and my next visit will definitely be there.
