It was a perfect stay, but one thing was a real problem for us. All 4 mattresses are toooooo soft for us. If this ist no problem for you, this is a perfect location for you !

We had the best time in Mark and Jo's house in Mt. Pleasant! It was a gorgeous neighborhood with lots of walk to and explore. Near metro stop and many coffee shops and restaurants in walking distance. The house was immaculate and our boys loved the room with the windows looking out to the beautiful tree lined street. My husband and I loved the porch. Mark was super helpful through out the stay with suggestions and recommendations when we had questions. Plus so hospitable. For a family, this was a terrific place for us and our favorite accommodations in BC!

My wife, toddler and I had a wonderful stay at Mark and Joanne's wonderful suite in Mount Pleasant. Located very centrally, the home is within walking distance of many great shops and restaurants in the area. Check-in was seamless and friendly with the assistance of property manager Dee, and communication leading up to our visit was very clear and helpful. The suite is spacious, well-appointed and clean. And has a lovely front porch perfect for an al fresco dinner. Thank you for having us!

The neighborhood is spectacular - close to everything with many cafes and restaurants within walking distance. We went to a lovely nearby coffee shop everyday of our stay. The house is very cute and clean. It is a renovated old pre-war home and thus we could hear the people upstairs watching tv and walking but it didn’t really bothered us. Thanks for having us!

The house was so comfortable to stay in. We loved the tree lined streets in the neighborhood and there were so many people out and about walking their dogs....it made it feel more like home. Location is so convenient to restaurants, stores, and everything else. Would absolutely stay here again next time we visit Vancouver!

Our family of four (kids 13 and 14) absolutely loved staying at Mark and Jo’s place. The communication throughout the 6+ months prior to our arrival was always super prompt, informative and friendly. Mark met us upon arrival to show us around and their place has everything you could possibly need. It is exactly as per the photos (if anything, even better). The neighbourhood is beautiful, quiet and safe but also a very close walk to lots of restaurants, shops, grocery store, and the train station. Buses were easily accessible and we walked to and from downtown several times. Mark and Jo were super helpful with recommendations and answering our questions (even about who and how much to tip 😂) The beds were super comfy, the home warm and dry. Kitchen was full stocked with everything you may need, laundry was great (loved the felt dryer balls!) and even had a great coffee maker with all supplies! We visited 31 Dec to 4 Jan and never heard another neighbour and had the bonus of snow, festive lights and even did the Polar Bear Dip on NY day! Don’t think twice - book this awesome Airbnb! We certainly hope to again!

What a perfect location for a stay in Vancouver - easy access to cafe's, supermarket and transport. e.g. Easy walk to Olympic Village where you can grab a ferry. Comfortable beds and everything we needed. Mark met us on arrival and was very welcoming and offered fantastic advice for our stay in Vancouver.

This accommodation was top quality and the hosts were so kind and responsive to any questions. We were welcomed upon arrival, and the apartment was perfect for us for biking and walking. Great biking lanes nearby, and we loved the whole experience. We highly recommend this location and apartment.

There’s not much we can add to the many accolades that have already been said about the joys of dealing with mark and jo and the absolute pleasure of staying at their well designed, comfortable and well situated house. Still, a few things to highlight. When mark told us to let them know if we needed anything, it was a genuine offer. Within minutes of asking whether he might have a steamer basket, he brought one over. When we asked if he knew anything about how much time we should allow to catch the ferry to Bowen island, he said he would check with his friend who was taking the same trip the day we asked. When we asked him his thoughts on some hiking areas we were considering, he not only weighed in but gave us more suggestions. As someone already mentioned, the house truly is on the prettiest street in the neighborhood. The bathtub was divine and the water pressure in the shower was powerful enough to get through my thick head of hair. And for those of us allergy sufferers, the ubiquitous boxes of Kleenex were especially appreciated. Finally, it was refreshing that mark did not present us with a list of things we needed to do before leaving. That seems to be a rarity for vacation rentals these days and added to the already immense satisfaction of staying here. We would have stayed again on our return trip to Vancouver, but the house was booked, as usual! It’s no surprise why mark and Jo’s place is in such high demand. This delightful couple could write the book on hospitality.

2 young senior couples stayed 2 nights at Mark & Jo's place. It worked out perfectly for us - 2 bdrms, 2 bathrms, all on one floor, once up initial steps to rental which were no problem. The location is residential and on a beautiful street. Walked 3 blocks to Main St where there were MANY dining options. The unit was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable, safe stay. Response to any questions we had was excellent, informative, and quick. And meeting Dee, their on-site property mgr, in the owners' absence, was truly a highlight! She was so helpful & friendly. Thank you. We would absolutely rent this VRBO again.

It's so nice to stay in a residential neighborhood, and our hosts have really thought of everything we might need. Will book again in the future!

This was an amazing spot to stay in Vancouver! The home is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood full of old houses with character. It is walking distance from cute shops and great restaurants. Our hosts were very kind and gave us great recommendations for things to do in the area.

Great location for exploring Vancouver before or after a cruise.

That would include places I have booked on other websites places too. Great quiet tree-lines street. Pleasant 15 minute walk to skytrain. Interior modern. Fully stocked appliances/etc.

We had a lovely stay at the property. It’s clean, spacious and in a great location. We’d definitely stay again!

Great spot, super friendly owner, skip the hotel.

This may be on one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in Vancouver! While there was a bit of confusion first trying to get the code for entry into the unit, the property owner Mark showed up and couldn’t have been nicer. He gave us a great orientation to the house and neighborhood. W”He also gave us some helpful suggestions as to where to dine. House was very comfortable. We stayed during a heat wave and while there was only one air conditioning unit, with the provided fans the place cooled down nicely. Great front porch too! Loved our stay here and would definitely come back if in town.

Wer were in town for some Vancouver Canadian baseball and this location was perfect. Our trip was short but I am looking forward to returning.

What a charming house built in 1911 on a tree lined street with similar houses. Our unit was recently totally redone inside but retaining the old world charm outside. The owner meet us and walked us through the nuances of the property. This was a nice personal touch! The house is on a quiet street. Parking for our car in the alley behind. The furniture is on the minimal side but adequate. The first night we walked to a nearby Thai restaurant and enjoy the beauty of the house and neighborhood. We ate our meal on the huge covered front porch in front. The house is within walking distance of many nearby shops and eating places plus not far from downtown. The property is well maintained and would definitely stay here again!

Mark and Jo's house is exactly as described in the listing. It is clean, comfortable and homey. The check in process was smooth and easy. The location is absolutely perfect - it is at a walkable distance to downtown, granville island and host of restaurants and coffee spots. We didn't have a car and didn't miss it. Grocery stores are close by and we got everything we needed to make meals the times we didn't feel like heading out. The beds were very comfortable and layout of the house is excellent for a family to hang out and not feel cramped. I would love to be back here for our future trips.

This is a beautiful and comfortable property in a beautiful and convenient neighborhood. Ths host welcomed us and was sensitive to our needs. I have never had a better VRBO experience.

We are a 60+ professional couple, still working, who have rented a number of VRBO properties over the years. Mark and Jo are by far the best hosts we have had - on so many dimensions: responsive, kind, well organized - going above and beyond. They were there if needed, and also 'gave us our space'. This property location is a terrific Vancouver neighborhood (we know the city): walkable to any goods or services needed. Oversize laundry a bonus as are two WC's. Thankyou!!

Host was super nice to greet us. Instructions were very clear. Great location, clean house. Got everything we needed. A great Christmas!

We spent eight days here with our 3&5 year old kids, while house hunting in preparation for moving to Vancouver in mid-December. The suite is beautiful and well supplied. It’s overall better suited to adult guests or perhaps families with older children. There is a lot of glass furniture with which we had to be very diligent managing our kids. On day 2/3 the hosts asked us to reduce the amount of running and jumping our kids did in the suite, since they live directly below. A very valid request, but also extremely difficult to keep two small kids from running inside during the rainy Vancouver winter. It added a level of stress to our stay, out of concern for being a nuisance to anyone. I can imagine this situation would be less problematic with even slightly older children.

I am cautious, and was choosing for others, and when I arrived I was thrilled. Better than expected. Part of the credit goes to the hosts who were very responsive to my questions. I booked it way in advance, and was intending to make thanksgiving there so I had questions about the kitchen. I didn't need to worry though, they thought of everything, even lent us umbrellas. Great area, easy location, and great hosts.

The space is very tastefully finished and furnished, and located in the best part of town. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
