I have had the honour to be your very first guest!
I highly recommend a stay at Amy and Jay’s suite.
Your suite is really comfortable in a pleasant and quiet neighborhood. It was just what I needed after a long flight from Europe. The pictures don’t do it justice, the couch with blanket and pillows (i have the same ones at my house :) ), the night stands with books create even a more homey feeling.
I was very happy with the sweet snacks, bottled water, coffee and tea, the luxurious towels and ample bath products, the murphy bed, the warm welcome, quick response to all my questions, all information provided about the area and booking a taxi to the train station for me.
The ceiling lighting is a bit harsh if you wake up at night and need just a little light, but Amy provided me with a smaller bed stand light, so that was perfect.
The start up issues with the internet were solved “while I was sleeping”.
Everything is brand new: in the kitchenette there is a fridge, coffee press, teapot and small oven to heat up a meal or for a simple breakfast or salad.
No stove to cook meals, but that’s fine, ample restaurants on Commercial Drive.
The bathroom has everything you need. I would say, the place is only a robe and slippers away from being a room in a boutique hotel.
I love to walk, so I walked -per Amy’s directions- via the Adanac bike path signs- to Gastown. In the early evening I returned via the Sky train expo line and walked about a mile back home via Commercial Drive, this south part has even more restaurants!
Even though it did not bother me at all, future guests might appreciate to know the kind of occasional noises of living in a house in a very quiet and pleasant neighbourhood. For example: water running down the pipes, the water heater, muffled voices, the garbage collection.
I will definitely return if I will be in Vancouver again!
