Nice, quiet place. Very good neighbourhood. I was nice to be able to sit in the garden ( a bench or chairs would be aporeciated). Brian was super helpfull.
We had a pleasant 4-night stay at Brianâs place. The unit is located in the basement below the main house on the street level (shown in the cover photo), which wasnât clear from the listing.The photos also suggest thereâs a separate couch in a living area in addition to the two bedrooms, but we realized the âliving areaâ is actually the second bedroom with a sofa bed.The unit was minimally stocked, but Brian was responsive and provided anything we needed when we reached out.Overall, the home is in a lovely, family-friendly neighborhood, and we enjoyed our stay.
As with all reviews, YMMV; other travellers' circumstances and preferences won't be identical to ours.Communications with Brian were smooth, cordial, and polite, which I appreciated.I think this property would be good for up to a weekend-long stay, esp. for 1-2 people. We found it tight for 7 days, for 3 of us.The sofa bed was fine but no coffee table meant it was difficult to hang out in that room together unless it was on the bed. In the "main" bedroom, it was awkward for 2 people to share the bed, positioned as it was in the corner, with only 1 bedside table. The pillows were lumpy, too.It was extremely quiet here; sometimes the dog next door barked but it was a friendly sound and didn't bother us.Things were clean and tidy; the interior is a little rough around the edges, which we didn't mind, but there were more spiders than we expected. In front, webs were woven every night between the trees; we had to break them to get to the street.There were only 3 bath towels 1 hand towel for the bathroom; no face cloths. The bathroom is small, and the towels didn't have a lot of space to dry out properly everyday so they did get musty unfortunately.The kitchen had 1 tea towel and there weren't quite enough utensils to make cooking (beyond stovetop meals or reheating or toasting) feasible. For example, there was no paring or utility knife, only a small chef's knife; and there were no baking pans at all.These items are easy to fix tho; hope it's done for the next people :)
Location was ideal for going anywhere. Hosts were super. Love the strolls along the waterfront. Lots of coffeeshopd on E Hasting to enjoy along with restaurants too.
From the age of 15 I have been in the Hospitality business. For 25 yrs I worked on cruise ships, so meeting new people from different cultures is in my DNA.
Its very peaceful, yet so close to everything. So many open spaces, parks, bike trails etc right here in East Van's best kept secret "neighborhood ". Every house is lit during Christmas...Google Trinity Street Christmas lights and you will see why it's such a beautiful neighborhood.
