Clean and comfortable stay.

This property was very clean and well equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable. A bit far from lots of the sites in Vancouver, but transit is fairly straightforward. We enjoyed our stay, thank you!

As stated on listing

Quaint accessible to what I needed very very artistically designed peaceful and very good aura about it. That was extremely comfortable. I didn’t wanna get up in the mornings. I enjoy the attic touches that the owner put in a lovely artwork on the walls and I really did feel like I was in a cottage environment, especially with the little Cape Cod windows. I love the staining glass window in the bathroom and the shower was first rate Took a couple of tries, but I figured out the back door. I would go back in a heartbeat if she was willing to take me back as I do try to come down to the coast to visit family and I like to have a space in my own, and I really enjoyed the convenience of the location and I found it was definitely in my price range.

Wonderful - Felt Like Home

Being my first VRBO stay, I was pleased to find this place at a very reasonable winter price. The place was exactly as advertised. It was super clean, not high end furnishings but good for the use. It had all the dishes, pots and other items to prepare small meals. A 2 tuner hot plate, microwave and a great electric frying pan. The room had the soaps and cleaners etc. Access was easy and the place was quiet. Now it is an old heritage home so you will hear the occasional foot steps above but it was not bothersome. A little cat greeted me in the basement hallway and two dogs sometimes were in the yard and not a bother. Kirstin was a great host. I would certainly stay again.
