Bill and Huong’s guest cottage in the Central District was perfect for us. Centrally located in a quiet, culturally diverse neighbourhood, the cottage behind their home had all the space and privacy that we like. We could come and go as we pleased. The courtyard between the cottage and their home is populated with Japanese maple trees, which were so colourful during our October visit.

Their location is within easy access of the bus, which is a short ride to downtown, as well as the I5, and is an easy drive from the airport. Their home is a short walk from a convenience store, supermarket, pharmacy, Starbucks, a great café (Cheeky Café), a funky take-out pizzeria (Humble Pie), and numerous other eateries.

Our hosts left us some welcome treats in the kitchen to get us started, including bread and English muffins from their local bakery, which has a factory outlet just a block from them--all the comforts of home and more! Bill and Huong responded quickly to any special requests we had. They were gracious hosts, and we recommend them and their guest cottage.
