My boyfriend Mat and I stayed with Rasha in her Garden Suite in Kitslano in January/February 2015. We were relocating from Australia to begin living in Vancouver for 2 years and we needed a short term place to call "home" when we arrived. It was a perfect place for us and our stay was truly fantastic. The unit was cosy and inviting upon arrival and Rasha had left us a little welcome hamper which I can vouch was more than welcome after the 24 hours of travel we had endured which left us too exhausted to attempt any food finding missions. The suite is very well appointed and tastefully decorated. It was a great base for us in exploring the local neighbourhood of Kitslano as well as farther afield with main bus lines only a short walk away and a wide range of great dining options very close by. Rasha left a very helpful list of her local favourites which we referred to for our culinary explorations. We really appreciated the complimentary Wifi which assisted greatly in our ability to get settled in Vancouver in finding rentals and job listings. I had noted the other reviewers comments about the noise when booking the suite but I had correctly assumed it would be limited to the usual active times of day such as mornings and early evenings and in any case it was not intrusive or distracting and it did not detract at all from our stay. Rasha was a wonderful host. She was quick to respond to any enquiries but we felt we had plenty of privacy and she left us to approach her as needed. She very kindly gave her own time to help answer our questions about life in Vancouver, well beyond the usual tourist advice, as we navigated our way through settling here. She also left us a sweet Valentine's Day chocolate gift which was a lovely surprise. Overall we really enjoyed our time at the Garden Suite, we were very comfortable there and would happily book to stay with Rasha again in the future and recommend the suite to our friends and family when they visit us.
