Best rental stay in Vancouver
From the moment we arrived to a warm and welcoming home which included personalised Christmas gifts for our kids, we knew we were staying somewhere special. The host and home were everything we expected from the property details and more. We can’t recommend Demetri’s home more highly. Thank you for making our Christmas even more memorable.

Kool Kits was our home away from home!
From the moment we walked into Kool Kits, it felt comfortable and safe. The entire area was decorated carefully and well-appointed, with no expense spared. Each room was well-lit and comfortable, making it feel like home right away. Everything worked perfectly and nothing was left out. They thought of everything! Plenty of towels, spices in the kitchen, and other amenities were thoughtfully made plentiful. The friendly guide left for us was detailed and incredibly helpful. We even logged into our PlayStation account and kept up with our usual games! Cooking in the well-appointed kitchen was great, and we were able to have dinner and enjoy leftovers easily. Demitri was always just a quick text away and made us feel incredibly welcome, and that made it even nicer. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Vancouver.

Fantastic Stay at Kool Kits
If you are looking for a fabulous place to stay, in a great location, with ample free parking readily available, kind and helpful hosts, and amazing amenities, stat at Kool Kits! The suite has everything you can possibly want and much more. We were in Vancouver for my daughter's wedding, and Dimitri went above and beyond to make us welcome and comfortable, all the way to providing a "Congratulations" cake, sparkling wine, and sparkling water. The wedding was wonderful, and the accommodation was perfect. We hosted several extended family meals; the kitchen made food prep easy and the space was as warm and welcoming as if we'd been in our actual home. Well, nicer, actually, as I don't have Dimitri at home to take care of things!

Fantastic stay with amazing hosts
We are so glad we chose this property for our weekend stay with our daughter and son-in-law! We couldn’t have hand-picked better hosts, and the home had everything we could have asked for and then some. The personalized touches upon arrival were extra welcoming, and our stay was comfortable, clean, safe, and relaxing. We will definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Demitri Douzenis

Host profile image
When on the road, my family and I have been staying at short-term rentals since 2014, as hotels couldn't fully accommodate the five of us. We love experiencing cities and the authenticity of neighbourhoods wherever we visit. Staying in homes affords us the opportunity to cook with local ingredients, and relax with space.
After many years of being the "traveler," we decided to host our own place! All of our experiences have shown us what we like and don't like, what works and what doesn't. Our suite is a reflection of that. Everything there is done with purpose, intent and care.
My wife and I work from home and our children are doing their schooling online - which gives us the flexibility to travel and experience new places.

Why they chose this property

Kitsilano has been my home since 1980. I grew up playing street hockey in the back lanes with my friends and making Easter lamb and having big Greek parties in the backyard. It's a beautiful, quiet and safe neighbourhood, with loads of trees to give you shade as you go for a walk and great, friendly neighbours. It's completely walkable too, with shops, groceries, restaurants, schools, playgrounds...and the beach nearby.

What makes this property unique

As you enter the property, you'll find the courtyard, which is your space, save for when someone requires only to pass through for access to the main house. You have your own door, 100% your own internal space, and 100% your own private, covered patio.

1200 square foot (111 sq metre) ground-level apartment for your exclusive use.
