We stayed at Cleo's place for almost two months, in summer 2020. The suite is perfect for two people wanting an extended stay, with private access, open living area with full kitchen, and Chromecast TV and Bluetooth speaker, which are easily linked to mobile devices.
The layout gives a feeling of spaciousness, with high ceilings and a lot of natural light. There is plenty of interior lighting as well. The bedroom is private with a comfortable double bed, and there is a futon in the living room as well. There is a large closet in the bedroom, and there is room to store luggage in the laundry closet also. There is also a big closet near the entrance to hang coats, etc.
The bathroom is beautifully done, very modern with plenty of room and a bathtub/shower with excellent water pressure.
There is a big laundry closet with a stacked washer dryer unit. There is a large fan and window screens if you have hot weather, but we found the apartment fairly cool most of the time, and rarely needed them.
The location is very good. Cedar Cottage-Kensington is a beautiful neighbourhood, close to public transit and some nice parks. Restaurants and groceries and liquor stores are all a short walk from the house.
And Cleo is an amazing host!! Kind, friendly and very accessible (she responded to our questions and requests during the stay in less than a minute most times). She really went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
Over the years we have stayed in a number of garden suite rentals in Vancouver, and Cleo's place is by far the best of the lot. We hope to return.
