I had a great time staying at Anne's place in Vancouver. The area is superb, with great little shops nearby -- the bakery was one of my favorites. My partner and I could easily get to downtown Vancouver by car or preferably by the nearby 22 Bus (takes you directly into downtown). Anne had a lot of recommendations for us to fit into 2 days and all were excellent.

We loved the privacy of the suite, very shabby-chic, DIY, with a cabin-like feel to it. We kind of underestimated the cool weather, so didn't have a lot of warm clothes with us. Anne's guest suite is definitely on the cooler side, though there is a small heater in the bedroom area. Fortunately the bed comforter was very warm and kept us from being cold and so we had excellent sleep.

The animals and seclusion of the home on a semi-busy street made this stay such a unique and fun experience. The cats were friendly, the chickens were often outside the window hanging out, and Shyla the dog was our best friend. We missed our pets on this trip so were glad to spend time with some of Anne's.

Overall it was a comfortable and unique place to stay in Vancouver. Anne is such a wonderful host -- asking how our day went, stocking the mini-fridge, calling Shyla over. We would definitely like to come back in the future.
