The space
The 2 rooms plus bathroom is in the lower level of our house in the heart of Kitsilano, with a vast array of shops within a block or two. We created this primarily for our children and grandchildren when they visit from out of town, and make it available to our short term rental guests between family visits. The ‘suite’ is not large, but it is comfortable, cosy and private. The kitchenette in the main room has limited cooking facilities for preparing small meals. It has a bar fridge with separate freezer compartment, a microwave oven, toaster oven, 2 element hot plate and a dishwasher. There a private patio just outside the front entrance with table and chairs for use when the weather is pleasant. There is a shared laundry room next to these rooms.

Neighbourhood highlights

This part of Vancouver, the "Kits" neighbourhood, is a very lively and popular place to be. A walk along Broadway takes you past numerous coffee shops, produce stores, eating establishments of all kinds, and opportunities for window shopping or buying gifts. Some years ago, Kits was the centre of the Greek community. It has kept this heritage alive and now also offers a truly cosmopolitan atmosphere with restaurants of all types. There are parks and playgrounds a short walking distance, and our home is on an intersection of the Vancouver bicycle routes. Kitsilano Beach is about 1 km away.
