We have been fortunate to visit Vancouver several times over the years. This was our first home stay. The location is wonderful. Beautiful established homes with enormous gardens all around and great walking to the local beaches and through the forested areas as well as wonderful walks around the neighborhood. We would definitely stay in this neighborhood again, plenty of food stores and restaurants a short drive away.
The Tudor style home was very calm and relaxing. We did not hear any street noise, the garden was large and spacious and even though Kiley and family were part of the overall home (duplex style) we hardly saw or heard them.
The house is simply furnished with a lot of stairs. Overall, we found the house clean but basically furnished. If you plan to stay in the house and eat most of your meals at restaurants, then this is a good choice primarily due to the location as you will be gone much of the time. We thought that the kitchen (like much of the house) was tired and worn. We did not expect a luxury furnished house, but we did think that the freshness and quality would have been better. Like every home, there comes a time when it needs a refresh and the kitchen most especially. The kitchen was basically equipped but pots and pans were pretty poor, tired and dirty looking......it was not a pleasure to cook in this kitchen. Also, notes were posted around the home apologizing for this item or that item not working......it just needs a good clean up.
