We stayed here for a month while as we figured out settling into Vancouver properly. It was a cosy, comfortable space and Darren and his family were kind and helpful hosts to us and our little girl. Couldn't have been better! The home is warm and well equipped with everything you need to live well and happily.
The neighbourhood is an interesting mix of pretty, leafy suburbia and grittier, slightly hipster urban vibes. It's a very short walk to Commercial Drive and the Sky Train that will take you straight into downtown in 15 minutes. We ate A LOT at Banditas Taqueria, a brilliant veggie mexican joint just round the corner. We also spent quite a bit of time at the nearby Trout Lake Park and Community Centre, which is really great if you are looking for a place for a child to burn off steam or you need the gym or want to go iceskating.
Staying here was a lovely slice of Vancouver neighbourhood life with a very family vibe. Probably not the best spot for a super tall person, basement suites have low ceilings and bits where I have to duck my head and I'm under 6 ft tall.
We were very happy with our stay and would totally recommend it to anyone who was looking for a longer term space to be while checking out what Vancouver life has to offer.
