Staying with Us Before Your Cruise? Welcome Aboard Your Vancouver Getaway!
Many guests who stay with us often continue their journey on a cruise ship departing from Vancouver Port. Based on our own cruising experience and guest's feedback, it's usually perfectly fine to arrive at the port earlier than the time listed on your boarding pass. Cruise terminals often begin processing passengers ahead of schedule, and arriving a bit early can mean shorter lines and a more relaxed start to your trip. However, it's always advised to check with your cruise line.

There are stairs, with handrail for safety, from street level to access our guest street. You will walk approximately 12 steps. Unfortunately our suite is not wheelchair accessible.

While the suite is not equipped with a full kitchen, it has a microwave, coffee maker, kettle, ovenette, toaster and 2 seat dining table.

- Dishes, bowls, glasses and flatware
- Love seat
- Flat screen 47" HDTV Smart TV with Netflix and standard cable
- High-speed Wireless Internet access
- Queen size bed with duvet and extra blankets
- Three piece bathroom

Other things to note: limited street parking, with some restrictions (resident permit only and 2hrs Monday to Friday) on the block and throughout the neighbourhood.

Our guest suite is fully licensed, registered and compliant with the City of Vancouver. Registration # 25-158162
Other things to note:
- We live upstairs and as in any home, sound can travel. While we strive to keep noise levels down, we do have two young children.

This is a clean and pretty nicely equipped place. The stairs from the street were a challenge for us as 81 year olds with mobility challenges, but we should have asked before booking. Also how the alarm system was to be worked with was not explained anywhere.Suitcase stand would help

Great place and convenient.

The space was clean and homely, with a lovely hamper basket available full of essentials. We had a slight issue with the check in details not coming through via email prior to arrival however the host was quick with responding and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this place for a comfortable stay in a Convenient location for downtown Vancouver.

Strathcona Gem

Perfect property- neat as a pin- and walkable to pretty much everything in Vancouver. The hosts gave me many ideas on what to do and where to go as it was my first time in town. The neighborhood is a happening one, with lots of renovation and a great coffee shop a block away. If I am lucky enough to get back to Vancouver, I'll stay here again.

Great location. Communication could be improved.

Overall the location was fantastic. Clean. As described. Close to everything. We did have an issue with communication. Communication was not done through the app and it was not expected via email. This caused us to miss our first night. The only other area of concern is parking. The posting said that there was parking, but there is really not. It is very limited in availability and also limited to 2 hours.

Clean and Comfortable

Very nice, close to bus stop, Beverly and Colin were prompt with responses to questions. Front sidewalk steps were a bit tight with bags.

One Slight Problem

Everything was great except for setting the alarm on the door when going out. I had to pull the door tightly towards me and set the alarm or the deadbolt would not engage.

Comfortable with lovely garden

We stayed here twice and it was quiet and very convenient to a bus stop. The place was comfortable and the shower was hot. Beverly and Colin were very good about answering any questions we had. Would stay there again.
