Colin is very responsive and made sure we had all the information we needed before arriving. The location possibly has the best view in East Vancouver with Trout Lake just outside the main window. Great location for kids with the park right across the laneway and close to Commercial Drive and the public transportation hub at Commercial and Broadway.

The carriage house is very clean and stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Our family of four (two kids 10 and 7) found it just big enough for us all. The main bed is comfortable and the fold out in the living was fine for the kids to sleep on.

One word of caution: The area is safe and family friendly, but be sure to secure all belongings, especially bikes. As past residents of East Vancouver we should have known better but we had our four bikes stolen off the back of our vehicle. They were locked to the bike rack but obviously not well enough. A bummer to wake up to as we packed up on our last morning, but definitely now our host's fault. We were parked on a side street and fell victim to pro bike thieves.
