Candice and Q were well-prepared for our arrival; we pulled in from Calgary later in the evening and immediately settled in. We were a group of 4 – mom, dad, and daughters who are 17 and 22. The kids walked around and were thrilled with the décor and setup of their accommodations (“this is how I want to live!”), and mom and dad were so happy with the welcoming atmosphere, with provisions in a basket and cold water waiting in the fridge!
Since we were in Vancouver visiting family, there were a few standouts about The Drive for us. The location is excellent, within walking distance to restaurants, vintage shops, some nice running routes (I suggest making your way to Trout Lake and extending the distance using the Greenway), and our daughter’s place – perfect! There is a space in the backyard with a BBQ, chairs, and a comfy lounging area where we took advantage of the games inside and got tipsy and competitive, and ate several meals there as well; I also used it as a work space in the early mornings and drank coffee and read emails in the peace and quiet.
The kitchen had everything we could imagine we’d need – a blender for shakes, a microwave for popcorn, a dishwasher we used lots, and a washer and dryer just in case! The bathroom was clean, stocked with towels, and had a lovely shower and tub. The beds were comfy and the rooms were quiet and lent themselves to some good nights’ rests.
Our family would choose this Airbnb again – we were very impressed that for such a reasonable price, we felt completely at home. It helped that we got a few bonus snuggles from the dogs! Any family looking for accommodations in Vancouver would be wise and delighted to stay at The Drive!
