Perfect place for our reunion of long-time friends
If you have a large family or group, this home is a great place to rent. Besides being clean, comfortable and cozy, the house provides enough beds to easily host eight or more. Our group of seven had plenty of room to sleep, eat, hangout, and enjoy each other's company. A last minute addition (surprise guest) was easily accommodated given the number of beds and bedrooms. And thank goodness there were three bathrooms for eight of us. Best of all is the location. In just 5 minutes, we could walk to Cambie Street where we found restaurants, grocery store, King Edward SkyTrain station, etc. Most mornings we stretched our legs with a walk (15 minutes) to the gorgeous Queen Elizabeth Park, a mini-version of Butchart Garden. Also the neighborhood is quiet with ample parking (we had two cars and were always able to park in front of the house). As noted in the rental description, the main house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and comfortably sleeps six without using the pull out sofa in the living room. The downstairs is a full apartment with two beds, a pullout sofa in the living room, full bathroom and a nice kitchen. It's a perfect setup for a young family traveling with other family members or friends. Note that South Cambie is a very convenient location in Vancouver. We easily drove to Richmond for dim sum, Coal Harbour and Gastown for shopping and dinners, North Vancouver to hit the Etsy fair, Granville to eat, shop and buy produce, and of course, the airport when it was time to leave. Finally Mike is a great host. Once we arrived, he stopped by to make sure everything was fine. He helped us get acquainted with the area, and made us feel welcomed. Everyone in our group enjoyed the stay, and felt it was the perfect setting for our reunion.
