Samantha and Jason's coach house is such a hidden gem! We frequent Vancouver but never realized how much the east side has to offer. It's in a great location; just a few blocks off away some major arteries, yet it's quiet and neighbourhoody. Strathcona is charming and eclectic. We were even lucky enough to participate in an alley party and some neighbourhood festivals while we were there and it was all within walking distance. If your timing is right, you'll probably see a family of raccoons roaming through the back yard!

Samantha and Jason are pleasant hosts. While we didn't get a chance to meet Jason, Samantha greeted us right away and gave us some good tips on parking, locking the door, etc. Their property has all of the amenities - laundry, bikes, Netflix, cable, wifi, extra towels, almost all of the kitchen supplies you need and even a koi pond. The suite is represented well through the pictures online.

A few things to note:
- There are always a few parking spots available on the other side of the road. We felt very comfortable leaving our car there for the whole day. Just be careful of the fire hydrant at the end of the street!
- We had some issues with wifi so it might be best to try it out right away and ask for help while they are around.

We definitely recommend booking with Samantha and Jason! If you can't get their coach house, their basement suite looked pretty nice too.
