A nice little Bed and Breakfast located in a very convent location to Vancouver at a good price. The parking is great as well. The owner is super nice and friendly and asked us multiple times if we needed anything. She tried to make us as comfortable as possible which was very much appreciated. We did stay in the smaller room with three adults and I would recommend the larger room if available but it is manageable. We really enjoyed our stay and again it is super convent to access Vancouver. Vancouver is a beautiful city and this is the perfect place to stay outside the city!

A very pretty, quiet neighbourhood. Basics are all there. Simple breakfast of eggs, toast, tomatoes, yogurt & apples. With as much coffee or tea as we wanted! No breakfast on Sunday was a bit of a surprise.

Simple but comfortable and great value. My wife has back trouble with uncomfortable beds, and the King bed in the first floor room met her needs. Host was attentive and provided good service. Charming neighborhood with small market, coffee and bakery about a block's walk away. Easy to park on the street. Easy to drive to UBC and Kitsilano and Point Grey neighborhoods.

Not much to like about this place. Terrible feline odor and cat wandered at night scratching door. Had to get Lysol spray to neutralize the smell and kill any germs. Distances to bus stop are exaggerated. If you enjoy the smell of chicken feet boiling all day you will love this place. Breakfast according to Expedia listing was nice but in reality pitiful.

This property’s information needs to be updated. The pictures shown of breakfast is incorrect. Breakfast is a self-serve toast and/or cereal unless you ask Lisa for breakfast, then you are given eggs, hash browns and a croissant as a choice. Breakfast is not served 7-10am, but 8-10am. Breakfast is NOT served on Sundays. The picture of the deck should be taken off as that is NOT available space to use. Also, the door to the first floor room needs to be fixed so it will close without having to lock it. The house cat found its way into our room at 2am and jumped on the bed! It was a shock! Our door was unlocked briefly so my friend could go to the w.c. Which is how the cat got in. Positive things - bed was comfortable!

This a traveller's hostel kinda place, not so well kept or managed. The room was cold. The milk at breakfast on the first day was sour. The grapes were old and going brown. I would not recommend this place, especially for the price point.

I really love the older houses. This is in a decent area, close to bus stops and easy for Uber pick up/drop off to main attractions. Lisa was very nice and accommodating. Very busy space with many people coming and going.
