In the house there are 3 bedrooms. Beds are as following: Bedroom #1: 1 queen bed (double occupancy) Bedroom #2: 1 queen bed (double occupancy) + 1 single bed Bedroom #3: 1 king bed (double occupancy).

Electrical fans are provided in each room for your comfort during warmer summer time. The house is located off Broadway and Clark, in a very quiet and tidy homeowner occupied neighborhood. Centrally located, this residence is two half blocks away from Broadway, a main artery that allows easy connection to UBC University, the beaches and the downtown area on one side and Commercial Avenue, with its famous café and restaurants, on the other side.
It is one block away from Clark, your fastest connection to the airport and to Freeway 99 to Seattle; one block away from 12th Ave, the direct connection to Trans-Canada Highway 1.
The residence retains its original stained glass windows and is furnished with antiques and family heirlooms.

Custom-made beds, two-hundred-counts 100% cotton linen and custom made mattresses will insure you the best comfort while you sleep. The professional kitchen features custom made cabinets, marble counter top, professional gas stove, fridge, dishwasher, upright freezer, microwave, all the utensils. In one of the bathrooms you will soak in bubbles floating in the original bear-claw-foot tub.

Thank you for staying with us, Carolyn. You are welcome back any time!
The house is so beautiful and unique, filled with art and eccentricity. Such a lovely property with a very homey feel and everything you could ever need during your stay. The space was clean and spacious. Carlo was kind enough to let us shoot our short film here and even allowed us to come into the space before hand. He was communicative, flexible and understanding. He went out of his way to help us in every way possible. Couldn’t imagine a better host or a better stay. Would definitely recommend!
Absolutely beautiful 1910s Craftsman home with such character. Super comfy and cozy. Tons of room. Some of the kitchen pots, pans, spices could be cleaner (got that aged stickiness) but a small quibble. Love the mix of residential and commercial/proximity to downtown. Fantastic hosts. Would definitely stay here again!
The home was lovely. The steps were a slight problem for an 84 yr old and a 75 yr old, but we managed. Needed napkins and paper towels but everything else was wonderful.
We thought this house was wonderful! We loved the location and the neighborhood! It is also in a very convenient area and it was easy to get to almost anywhere we wanted to go. We had great communication with the owners and the property manager before and during our stay and they made the whole process very easy.
We loved this house – it was perfect in every way. The front and back porches provided so much serenity during our busy weekend. The artwork, decorations, and books made us feel right at home – we honestly never wanted to leave. Thank you so much to our hosts for the warm welcome and for allowing us to stay in your beautiful space. We will definitely be back!
The property was very nice and clean, great accommodations for our family, and the host family was clear and prompt with all communications, very friendly and helpful, and everything was as described. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again, and highly recommend this location in Vancouver. Thank you for a great stay!

We took a brief spring break trip to Vancouver with our 16 year old son. My wife loves Victorian homes so this place was a great fit. We had plenty of room and felt like we were right at home. The house is in a great location to most places you want to go.space and felt

About the host
Hosted by Riccardo
We are two architects, originally from Italy, where we return every year. This is our winter residence in Canada. When we saw this house, in 1998, we knew we had found the right home for us.
Why they chose this property
The quiet neighbour, the balanced location between two main commercial arteries — Main St and Commercial St — the easy accessibility to downtown, UBC, the beaches, the airport have made this location a perfect choice for us.
What makes this property unique
In addition to the above, we wanted our home to be flexible, organized, comfortable, and to have the beauty and warmth of an historical building.
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
