Beautifully laid out two bedroom apartment. Everything worked. Cooking our own meals was easy. Lovely and warm. Douglas and Dolores were very amicable and full of great information about local things such as shopping, beaches, great walks and fantastic vegetarian restaurants.

Everything was clean and neat. The apartment has a lovely warm wood

This perfectly situated suite was quiet, clean, had all the amenities and the hosts were responsive and friendly. We would stay there any time we visit Kitsilano, within a very short walk to stores and restaurants. We loved our time there.

The apartment is in a convenient location, which was appreciated. However, the unit itself was not as clean as expected, and overall it felt outdated and in need of a refresh. The furniture and décor seem tired, and a more thorough cleaning would go a long way in improving the guest experience.There was no informational binder provided for the basement apartment, which would have been helpful. Additionally, the current listing does not reflect the major ongoing construction work in both the front and back gardens. This was a notable disruption and should be clearly disclosed to potential guests.The back garden in particular could benefit from a cleanup, and the outdoor furniture is worn and uninviting.Another point of concern was the checkout process. We were asked to vacate the unit by 10am to allow time for cleaning before the next guests, even though the listing clearly states an 11am checkout. I communicated that our airport transportation had already been arranged for just before 11am, but the host was non-apologetic and unwilling to accommodate the posted time. I did offer to have the cleaner begin working around us if needed. In the end, we were fortunate that our friend was able to arrive earlier, and we left before 10am, but the lack of flexibility and courtesy around this issue was disappointing.That said, we did appreciate that the nightly rate was lower than most in the area—b
