Every review here was on point - this place was fantastic. I didn't get the chance to meet Francois in person as he was away on travels but he was very quick to respond during our initial discussions.

When checking-in his wife Lisa accommodated our arrival and she was a total sweetheart! Lisa gave us a personal tour and details on the many amenities - she even had a welcome "care package" of milk and cookies :) We also talked about a few good places to try nearby for food and other local recommendations - Go Fish on Fishermen's Wharf is a must try

This place has everything you need - laundry, extra towels, full kitchen, ironing board and much more... it even has a very nice fireplace that turns on at a flick of a switch. Also, although we did not spend too much time indoors their TV package is FULLY loaded. They have every channel imaginable.

It's also close to everything. 5 mins to Kits beach, 10 to Grandville island, 5 to the nearest bus stop that takes you downtown Vancouver in minutes - which you can also reach in 20ish mins by foot over Burrard bridge.

Other things to note: The pictures on the posting are great but it looks much better in person. For anyone concerned about the colour choice (as I initially did) you will be very pleasantly surprised as it actually made us feel like we're on an exotic getaway, making our stay even more special. The one and only issue (which did not cause any concern whatsoever) was water collecting in the bath mat. No idea where it was coming from but I'm thinking perhaps it's from when someone uses the shower.

I highly recommend Francois' and Lisa's place, they are truly amazing hosts. You can bet your bottom dollar that we'll be reaching out again for our next trip to Vancouver.
