The Purple House in Kitsilano is like no other. This is my second stay there. I have been to over 25 Airbnbs in my life and, particularly in terms of hospitality, this one is the best. Second place is big drop. The house is architecturally warm and homey. Everything you need is provided, include lots of free food and drink. Kent is an amazing host. It is a short walk down hill to a beach with a beautiful long beach walk. It is a short walk upwards to the famous 4th Avenue with its shops, coffee houses, etc. If you have a choice between the Purple House and another Vancouver property, it is no choice: go with the Purple House!!
