I had a great time staying at the lovely peaceful garden suite located in the quiet streets of the beautiful city Vancouver. Charles street is no stranger to many family houses located along the street. It is quite safe to walk the street at night or during the day. The close by road a.k.a Commercial Road has many shops and restaurants always buzzing with activity, people enjoying good food in cafes, shopping for range of necessities and unique things, very nice easy pathways to walk along road. Very easy to commute from down town Vancouver.

The food places range from exquisite pizza parlours to custom fine dining to cocktail bars to cafes all serving very good food and drinks, you are in for a treat various cuisines (Italian, Indian, Asian, middle eastern, etc). Never go hungry:). If all else fails you also have 24 hour, good old Mc Donald's, which is not definitely my kind of food, but it's there as an option.

The suite is well equipped for single/couple living. It has a with a very efficient kitchen with all amenities with a good induction hob and a toaster oven. Has a ground floor heating with adjustable thermostat. Has a very nice warm shower, enough towels and linen stacked. There is a digital coded lock on the main door to the suite which secures the door, no need for keys. Just enter the pre-agreed code and magically the door opens. When going out of the suite, just press the lock button and it secures the door instantly.

The grocery stores - Donald's store, Santa Barberra and other stores are present only short distance away. I recommend to try Donald's store as they accept various cards.

The Transportation is very easy access on bus number 20 to and from sky train station which is located at Commercial on East Broadway. You can take the sky train or the bus or drive your own car to get into down town Vancouver, University of British Columbia, science museum, Stanley park etc. If you choose to travel on bus or Sky Train, Compass card comes in handy.

Noa and Rafi are wonderful hosts with world travel knowledge. Just by speaking with them I could tell they had excellent knowledge of Vancouver, where to go, how and when is the best times to go. Also they have stayed at other BnB accommodations and understand what personal needs are to stay in a place from travel perspective. They both are art scholars, open minded, gentlemanly and down to earth. Nice to have met their whole family. In spite of their busy schedules, they did help me out, as I was very new to Vancouver. They would not shy away from any conversation on good topics.

I highly recommend staying at this place.
