We chose this property partly because of the historic neighborhood and its proximity to China Town, Gas Town, the Chinese classical garden, and the False Creek ferries. As avid walkers, assisted by the #19 bus to Stanley Park and our hosts guidance to avoid some grittier areas, we found it exceeded all expectations. The careful, creative restoration of this vintage house was a delight. The historic character has been maintained while providing spotlessly clean modern amenities including a relaxing shower and tub, well equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. Colin and Iris generously allowed us to stash luggage in the street level foyer before the normal 3:00 check-in time. While the back entry is private, it requires two steep flights of stairs, so being able to get in and out at street level was a great help. Most of all, we enjoyed meeting our hosts! All together, this is one of the most enjoyable stays we have booked through AirBNB.
