I highly recommend this B&B, my expectations were exceeded by the hosts and the accommodations.

I travelled to Vancouver BC for a wedding and a relaxing weekend getaway with friends. Casa Om Commercial Drive B&B was the perfect place for this. Just minutes away from bustling downtown, it is nestled in a lovely residential neighborhood yet just a half block from great restaurants and shops on Commercial drive.

This was my first experience staying at a B&B; Sylvain and Alexis made it one to remember. They were very quick to respond and attentive from our first contact as we made arrangements for our stay. I couldn't ask for better hosts; we felt an instant rapport and found them to be not only very accommodating but warm and interesting people. Getting to know them was a highlight of our stay.

When we arrived we were given keys and access to the entire main level including internet and computer access, a lovely parlor and use of the kitchen if needed.

The home is very inviting and peaceful with a casual and artistic flair that is both calming and inspiring. The bed is very plush and comfortable and there is plenty of space to unpack and put things away if you choose. I really enjoyed rising early and reading on the front porch lined with colorful flower boxes overlooking the front yard.

We opted for the prepared breakfast the first morning and were treated to a delicious eggs benedict with smoked salmon on a fresh croissant. Both mornings we awakened to freshly pressed coffee, fresh fruit and an assortment of quick fix options from granola and yogurt to bagels, breads and juice.

I looked forward to returning to the home at night over an impersonal hotel room. It really was a memorable part of our stay in Vancouver. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to spend relaxing at the house and enjoying the accommodations.
