My wife and I stayed here and were not disappointed! We absolutely loved this place and will definitely be staying here again when in Vancouver. The house is a beautifully restored heritage house that has been restored with a modern touch. The blend of the craftsman windows and workmanship with a modern decor and bathroom (or “washroom” as they call it in the north) worked very well and provides the feel of true luxury and comfort. The private entrance is also pretty cool.
Ruta and her family are awesome hosts! They were very friendly and approachable and were very response when ever we messaged them. We were able to cross paths with Ruta and her husband a few times and they would check in with us, provide feed back and recommendations on local restaurants. They are Super Host in my book.
The room is very comfortable with great amenities. They provide a refrigerator which helps since there is a market half a block away to get some fruit or whatever snacks. This helps to keep your dinning out cost down. They also provide a toaster, coffee maker, kettle and microwave.
The bed is super comfortable with soft sheets. The bathroom is very modern with water that is hot right from the start.
The location is great, very close to the 16 bus, which takes you to downtown in about 20 mins. If you are new to Vancouver, get yourself a compass card to use for the train and busses. The public transit system in Vancouver is great, clean and efficient.
We had an amazing time in Vancouver, starting off with a great place to call home, that is actually part of someone’s home rather than a mini motel, is the way to go. If you are on the fence about staying with Ruta, just book it and you’ll love it!
