Owners, Maria & Emilio, warmly welcomed us to Vancouver and to their well-adorned basement suite, within 20 min. of downtown Vancouver. For a very reasonable rate, we would enjoy viewing films on their TV in the cozy living area. The well-appointed kitchenette included a beautiful LG fridge, grill and all the necessary cooking accoutrements with which to make your delightful culinary concoctions: cooking utensils, pots & pans, compact knives and cutting boards, plate-ware, glassware, cutlery, and a number of other well-thought and considerate offerings. You’ll enjoy the table for two and the owners’ stock-up of complimentary pop and water bottles, as well as their generous supply of organic coffee, tea and stevia, as we did!
In the bedroom, we were happy to find a comfortable bed, brand spanking new comforter, pillows, blanket and linens, plus a well-appointed built-in wardrobe for hanging garments, with built-in dresser drawers and even a shoe rack. In the bathroom, we found ample mirrors, cabinetry, and yes, extra rolls of toilet paper and tissue box! Maria & Emilio’s kindness and generosity of spirit more than compensated for the scarcity we had encountered at our first Air B&B. Not surprisingly, we favored Maria & Emilio as our lovely hosts. Maria & Emilio left us feeling cherished and cared for ~ just the way we want to feel in our home away from home!
On the day of our leave, the owners expressed good wishes for our visit, and even invited us to stay later (since we checked in later)! No 11am checkouts, here! We remain grateful for their warmth, consideration and hospitality. We would return for another visit without reservation. Thank you both! You set the stage for an awesome visit! 😊
