- Michal (10/5): -
- Peter (9/5): - Generally everything good for a couple. Settee in the lounge area could be more comfortable. More TV channels would have been good.

- David (9/5): Comfortable stay in a well-equipped laneway home. - Perfect for our needs. Great location, close to the folks we were visiting. Comfortable - and quiet - sleeping arrangements; well-equipped kitchen.
- Jon (10/5): Comfortable and cozy. - Nice and quiet. Very clean. Comfortable and cozy. Private parking spot in the back right beside the entrance to the suite. Friendly and informative host, contactless entry and exit. Safe neighborhood. Nothing bad to say about this stay. I didn't like that I couldn't stay longer
- JP (9/5): -
- Alice (8/5): Cosy and clean - felt like home - Great separation of upstairs downstairs, great kitchen and handy extra toilet Didn’t realise it was connected to owner property. Absolutely fine in the end, just didn’t expect to be able to hear them through the door and may be an issue for guests who are planning on spending more time in the property.
- Patrik (10/5): Stilvoll eingerichtet mit Wohlfülfaktor - Sehr angenehm
- Doreen (9/5): - The parking spot in the back is pretty tight and hard to get into.
- Deborah (9/5): -
- Irit (8/5): - מיקום נוח ושקט היה נקי
מאובזר בכלי מטבח
- Peter (9/5): Very nice stay - Clean and all that you need
- Grace (9/5): - the parking was very nice and private, easy check in, nice quiet area so not disturbed by traffic. The facilities available were really nice.
- laura (10/5): - Appartamento nuovo completo di elettrodomestici + lavatrice ed asciugatrice, zona tranquilla e ben servita a 15 min di auto dal centro, letti molto comodi e due bagni uno al piano terra ed uno al piano primo.
- Nijoska (10/5): Perfect stay near Vancouver - Geweldige locatie, zeer ruime slaapkamers, comfortabele keuken/living. Luxe badkamer en een 2e toilet beneden. Heel prettig! Fijne host en top dat je naast het huis kunt parkeren. De hygiëne bovenop de koelkast en afzuigkap etc, maar wij zijn lang, dus kunnen erop kijken. Verder misten we een gordijntje voor de deur naar het balkon, waardoor het sochtends erg vroeg licht is op de slaapkamers.
- James (10/5): - Nice location. You can walk to restaurants and stores. Clean, quiet.
- Eric (10/5): Nice house. Good location - Convenient location.
- Suzana (8/5): Agréable, propre et confortable - Situé dans un quartier d’habitation à proximité des transports publics, restaurants, épicerie, station essence et à moins de 30mn de l’aéroport. 2 chambres et 1 salle de bains avec douche à l’étage. Propre, confortable, lave-linge et sèche-linge, place de parc à côté de la maison. Petit espace salon juste à l’entrée au rez-de-chaussée avec un canapé 2 places uniquement. Manque une commode dans les chambres au lieu de la petite table d’appoint. Aucun mobilier de jardin.
- Mohammed (10/5): My review - Cozy Driveway parking is a bit confusing.
- Holger (8/5): Für einen Kurztripp gut geeignet, wenn man nicht im Großstadttrubel übernachten will - Es war sauber und ruhig. Bushaltestelle in der Nähe und 25 Min zum Flughafen. Appartement ist gut ausgestattet.
- Blueawhite (9/5): Superb -
- Donald (7/5): WE CAME, WE STAYED AND WE LEFT -
- Jimmy (8/5): Very good -
- Dean (10/5): Exceptional -
- Huxter (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kryzan (8/5): Homey Laneway very homey. - More than met our needs - comfortable, clean, as advertised, no surprises.
- Hei (9/5): A homey and cozy property in Vancouver - Quiet and peaceful neighbourhood, yet close to some great food options (Bun Cha Ca Hoang Yen!!), comfortable rooms and bathrooms, spacious kitchen area. Bedrooms are up a flight of stairs so may not be ideal for visitors who are fall-risk
- Jayesh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maxim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laurel (10/5): Very pleased, would stay again - Quiet neighborhood, very clean Could of used some more pillows or fluffier pillows
- Praveena (9/5): Superb -
- Keegan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shuk (7/5): Good -
- Lauren (8/5): Very good -
- Chris (8/5): Great comfy home! - Free parking, free Netflix and nice kitchen. Comfy beds. Not enough hand towels or dish towels, the wine glasses were too small.
- Jonathan (8/5): Very good - It was clean and quiet
- Paul (4/5): Disappointing - Clean comfortable beds
Good lighting in kitchen and bedrooms
Cleaning materials supplied
Toiletries supplied
Good TV Superficially clean but lots of fluff under beds
Not enough towels had to ask for more which were provided
Not enough toilet rolls
Cheap plastic picnic ware to eat off
No wine glasses or tumblers only plastic
Nothing to cook on in the oven therefore couldnt use it
Mirrors needed in bedrooms
Bedside light in one bedroom didn't work
No dish towels and only one tea towel
No comfy seating area at all only 4 dining chairs
Fold down table and fold up chairs would work and would leave room for sofa
Can't watch TV as nowhere to sit comfortably
Poor selection of kitchen utensils and no cookware
Cheap cutlery
Hair dryer came out of a Christmas cracker it was rubbish
Garden view as advertised was of owners untidy backyard and trash cans and we saw rats
Lights on top of stairs didn't work so safety hazard especially for elderly or young children
Property advertised as 2 bathrooms , there was one shower room upstairs with no bath and only a toilet and handbasin downstairs off the kitchen (not ideal). There was no hand towel supplied in this toilet
Bare wires hanging in several places
Emergency exits behind the beds so couldn't possibly be used
Balcony as shown on advertisement photographs not accessible
- Jj (9/5): Superb -
- Derek (9/5): Quiet neighborhood - Large well labelled kitchen. Good directions. Comfy bed Needs bedside lights
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anton (9/5): Very pleasant - First, the navigation in the car did not lead us correctly, but then we quickly found the accommodation on foot. We parked the car in front of the building, opened the door with the code sent to us by the owner. The house is very spacious. The ground floor has a spacious kitchen, toilet, and a washing machine and dryer under the stairs. On the upper floor there are two large enough bedrooms and a bathroom. The premises are clean. There is no noise in the settlement. Since we were in a hurry to catch the ferry in the morning, we left very early, which was no problem from the owner's side. Everything was fine.
- Susan (9/5): Superb - The house is spacious , comfortable and in a great position for transport downtown. We stayed for a week and would happily return. I would certainly recommend this house to anyone going to visit Vancouver as it is great value for money. The owner responds to any communication very promptly and is very helpful. It would be helpful if there were hand towels in both the bathrooms and the kitchen. There were no dishes or tins for cooking in the oven which was a pity as it is a nice big oven.
- Fiona (7/5): Clean comfortable accommodation with easy access to city centre - Very clean, comfortable beds, spacious, near to bus stop to travel into Vancouver Bedrooms too light as there was a window with no blind in both rooms, could have done with a sofa downstairs as it was not very relaxing with just dining room chairs, very noisy people last night that kept us awake for hours
- Derekv (8/5): Great values - Location: 10-15 mins to most popular attractions
1 parking spot reserved
Safe and quiet neighborhood Thin wall
No toilet paper when we arrived but the owner quickly brought in some when we messages her
- Inna (9/5): In was amazing and comfortable place to stay with the family, super quiet and calm place, comfortable and convenient loc - All was nice, so calm and quiet place, comfortable and great place to stay with the family Some details are not finished , lights under cabinets, but in general looks nice 👌
- Kathryn (9/5): Thank you for a comfortable stay - Very quiet, clean and perfect for our overnight prior to our cruise the next day. Lovely leafy neighbourhood within walking distance to a pub and excellent diner. Beds we’re very comfortable
- Yael (10/5): Exceptional - The house was very comfortable and very clean. We were 2 couples and we had everything that we needed.
The parking near the house is comfortable as well.
The owner was very responsive and helpful. Nothing
- Joanie (8/5): Overall a really great place and would be even better with a few adjustments. Happily will recommend it. - Great Location, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, beds comfortable, quiet, seamless check- in and out, nicely appointed albeit easy improvements possible. Good value. See below The following suggestions are not meant to undermine the positives- all small fixes that would make it that much better:
TV buffered the whole time;
Light burnt out under fan hood,
Needed hand towels in 2 baths and kitchen,
Light bulbs could be a softer light on main and add a side lamp,
A couch under the window would be a big plus and work if you added a drop leaf table from IKEA against wall under TV and they have comfortable collapsible chairs that would work and fold up when not in use,
Your cleaners are not cleaning under beds (dust allergies) and not changing cleaning water as everything is streaky. All small stuff.
- Harlan (9/5): Superb -
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable I assumed there were two full baths. My fault for not verifying, but it was still very workable for two couples.
- Amber (9/5): Superb -
- Kevin (10/5): Very cozy big laneway house. - Pros:
- plenty of utilities, privacy and space
- kettle for boiling water, coffeemaker for coffee, laundry, pan and stove for cooking, and big screen tv
- very fast internet. Great for gaming, streaming, and browsing
- 2 very nice comfortable beds.
- free coffee and tea. Free soap and shampoo
- great location. It’s very close to Victoria drive and East Side Craft House(they make one of the best burgers in Vancouver 🤤)
- heating and air condition
- quiet cons: none
