We had a fabulous time at Mackie's! We chose the studio located inside the house and we're impressed with how well stocked it was. A perfect place for one person or a couple, we appreciated the comfortable bed, nice linens and cozy decor. Victoria Dr. is a busy street so we did hear some traffic noise but it wasn't much and the fan in the room provided a gentle hum. Mackie and his family are wonderful hosts who went out of their way to make us feel at home and provide local suggestions. Close by Commercial Drive was full of interesting shops and restaurants. High Life records, Bonerattle Guitars, and the Little Italy history were local highlights. Kayaking in Deep Cove was a hike to arrive to on public transport, but well worth the trek for the spectacular views!
