This is a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood in Kitsilano. The big trees and flowers all around are so nice! There is no traffic noise on the front street but some noise from trucks in the alley when they are unloading at the grocery store across the alley. We expected this in advance so it wasn't really a problem. And it was great to have that grocery store so close by.
It was such a nice touch that the host provided a great selection of breakfast food items upon arrival. And the nice relaxing background music playing on the TV was a first for us in all our rentals over the years. We also were very impressed with the good selection of towels and toiletries....right down to having new spare toothbrushes! The kitchen was very functional and bright. The heated floor in the kitchen was appreciated in the cool April mornings. We could hear some conversations from the suite downstairs occasionally but the residents were always quiet during the suggested quiet hours at night. We tried to keep our sounds low so that they wouldn't hear us also.
The internet connection from Telus was a good speed (~80-100Mbits) and the WIFI worked very reliably.
It was nice to have the laundry machines which were clean and worked as expected.
Thanks Deb and Jim for sharing your beautiful home with us. :-)
