The home is well-equipped with everything you could need. It was the perfect home base for our time in Vancouver. A 5-star experience. We will definitely be back!

Our family of five, including three young adults, thoroughly enjoyed this house and location to relax over Christmas break and explore Vancouver. We had duck hot pot for Christmas dinner at Lao Cai Chinese restaurant--delicious! And we ate and shopped our way through West Vancouver/Ambleside restaurants in the delightful town area as well as the extensive shopping mall a 10-minute walk away. There is an incredible view from the master bedroom upstairs of the Lionsgate bridge and the bay area. Everything was very clean and smart, with some lovely spices, oils and cooking equipment. Even a frother and Nespresso machine. The hot tub is clean and private, surrounded by outdoor seating. The most comfortable mattress is in the room on the left at the top of the stairs to the upstairs. The other three mattresses are not deluxe, but adequate. This is only worth noting if you have back pain; otherwise you'll be just fine. The decor is modern and tasteful, as shown. One more easy chair would be a good addition in the living room, but we carefully moved the chair from the other space into the TV area while we were there. The showers are clean and lovely. The older home is all updated and renovated. We never noticed any noise or evidence of the person living in the basement. We rented bikes and ran around Stanley Park, visited the Aquarium, the library, Chinatown, and walked around Ambleside and the beach. Our host was very responsive and provided lots of information.
