Came up from Seattle for a girls' weekend/momcation. Initially we wanted to stay downtown, but prices were so outrageous and I had heard that Kitsilano was a cute area so we were happy to find Kathleen's place. It far exceeded our expectations! The house and neighborhood were absolutely adorable. Plenty of free parking in front of the house. There is great boutique shopping (and tons of dining options--try the tasting menu at East Is East!) on both 4th Ave W and Broadway. One day we walked along the seawall all the way around through the beach area, by the pool, and along the water down to Granville Island. Not once did we need public transit, even to downtown, because everything is so walkable (we are in good health, so this obviously is a factor). Kathleen's home was clean, had nice ambiance, and felt very safe and quiet. The beds were so comfortable!! We met Kathleen upon arrival and found her to be kind and friendly. She left a nice snack for us in the kitchen and plenty of clean towels. She was also available to us as needed the entire time. I found myself looking ahead to another potential Vancouver trip and mentally planning to book Kathleen's home again.
