we stayed with julia for a 2 day visit to vancouver to celebrate a friend's birthday. the coach house accommodated 6 of us very comfortably. it is just as advertised: a perfectly compact, very clean space 2 blocks off broadway, close to everything you could need. the lower space was great for hosting small gatherings both nights. check in was smooth; we were greeted warmly by julia's assistant, shown to the back of the property where the coach house is, given the code to the doorlock, and left alone for the rest of the weekend. although julia offered to help us with anything we might need. i would stay with her again without hesitation.
