My husband and I stayed for a long weekend and we absolutely LOVED it here! The space is clean, bright (natural morning light in the bathroom was a plus), and spacious, all while being very cozy—especially with the gas fireplace on! The unit is keyless entry so it was really convenient to be able to arrive late (we arrived near midnight) and check in without having to disturb our hosts.
The kitchen is well equipped; you can pretty much answer "yes" to all questions that start with, "I wonder if they have _____?" Bread knife, cutting board, toaster, pots, pans, hot water kettle, dishwasher, full size fridge and freezer, and more... It has so many amenities that it felt like home. The labels will make it easy to find what you're looking for, and if you can't, just ask!
We also make a conscious effort with our packaging waste, so it was a huge bonus to have a recycling and compost bin. We also enjoyed the treats left for us too—they were definitely welcome when we arrived late at night!
The bedroom has lots of storage space in the closet, which we used to store our small suitcases and hang up clothes. Ample plugs are available to charge your electronics too.
As for the location, the home is tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood that felt quite safe. Nearby are some delicious restaurants and bakeries (recommended by the handbook) as well as the VanDusen Gardens and Bloedel Conservatory, where we had a beautiful walk and afternoon tea.
Thank you to Tamara and Sarah: you are fantastic hosts, who are so attentive and enthusiastic to help us if we needed anything. We're really happy to have had a chance to chat with you outside of the AirBnB app! Highly recommend this place for those looking to stay in Vancouver—we will be back for sure!!
