Marina's beautiful house is fresh, modern and bright and decorated with art and treasures from around the world. Her home is conveniently located and close to Commercial Drive, and is also central for longer trips to the Endowment Lands, Main St, Gastown and for North Shore hiking. I loved watching the birds in the magnolia tree while drinking my morning tea - our dogs were fascinated by the sight as well. Marina is very friendly and checked in periodically to make sure things were going well. I highly recommend staying here - you'll leave wanting your own modern lane way home!
