About this property

A Gentle Hideaway in the Urban Forest｜WEST END downtown Vancouver

  • Welcome to this cosy little home tucked away in the heart of Vancouver’s West End.

    Nestled in a quiet courtyard unit on the tree-lined Comox Street, this home offers a serene, intimate escape from the city’s hustle. Step through the glass doors and you’ll find a petite yet charming garden patio — the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a quiet evening under rustling leaves.

    Just outside your door is the vibrant heart of the West End. Cafés, restaurants, and local shops along Davie Street bring the area to life with warmth and character. A short stroll takes you to the golden sunsets and sea breeze of English Bay, or the shaded trails and seawall of Stanley Park — all just minutes away for drive.

    Our comfortable apartment features 2 bedrooms with 2 Queen-sized beds. Ample closet space, and cosy linens. Enjoy the open-concept living area, which includes 3 stylish sofas, and a dining table for 4-6. The fully equipped kitchen comes with modern appliances, including a fridge, stove, microwave, and coffee maker.
    
    1.5 bathrooms. The full bathroom is equipped with tailor-made accessories and carefully selected decorations. Wi-Fi, TV, and washing machine/dryer.
    
    When you arrive, everything will be ready to welcome you in the best conditions: sheets, towels and bath supplies, coffee, and tea. In addition, our key box is locked in the front door, and you can check in automatically after 4 pm.


    It’s a quiet retreat with the city at your fingertips —
    and I hope that during your stay, you won’t feel like a guest,
    but like the main character in your own little storey.

Perfect location, great accommodations

My friends and I were impressed with this cute, modern apartment. It was cozy and clean, but most of all, located in a great part of the city that made it very walkable.

This is a rare find--a beautiful space in a great location. The unit is very comfortable and well appointed. The kitchen has great appliances, including an excellent coffee maker and espresso maker which we really appreciated. It is fairly sparse in terms of cooking equipment if you want to cook a more elaborate meal, but for regular daily meals, it worked well. We found the unit to be clean, quiet, comfortable and we'd definitely stay again.

Our stay was wonderful and our communication with Michelle was quick, even into the wee hours of the morning. This condo is perfectly located within walking to the ocean and all amenities. Beds were super comfortable and we could not hear a think from other neighbours which made sleeping very easy. I would highly recommend this condo!

Slice of Paradise

This was hands down the best VRBO experience I’ve had so far! Michelle was a wonderful host—she had snacks waiting for us when we arrived, which was such a thoughtful touch. The place was spotless, the beds were super comfortable, and the home itself was quaint, quiet, and full of charm. It's in a peaceful neighborhood just a short walk from downtown, and there’s a lovely park nearby with community gardens and a farmers market on Saturdays. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations.

Great Location Downtown Vancouver

The location is great. The unit is a lower unit, below ground and was small, but adequate. With a larger unit above, it was a bit noisy with foot traffic, etc. throughout the day and early mornings.

Would not stay again

The property was in a great location. Walking distance to most places. No mention of the property being in a basement. Upstairs tennants were very noise in the middle of the night. Cleanleness wasnt the greatest, and the home had an awful musty/stale laundry smell.I would not stay at this property again

Clean, cute and cozy

This home was the perfect size for our family of four. It was clean and had everything we needed. This is a great location of you want to be in walking distance of shops, eateries, and public transportation. Overall it was a really good experience. The master bed is missing cross boards to support the mattress (easy to fix) so the mattress sags a lot. The listing says there is a hot tub, further in the listing it states there is a hot tub in the bathroom. There is NO hot tub. I’m guessing the owner was trying to say there is a bathtub. The owner never responded when I asked about the hot tub.

Good place, poor communication

Leading up to the day we stayed, Michelle was timely in her responses. She even offered car service to take us to the airport after checkout. The day of the stay, she stopped communicating. We offered for us to drop our luggage off early so we could explore the city before check in, but stopped responding which made it very difficult to drop the bags off. We waited at the place for an hour after she said we could off drop our bags while repeatedly messaging her. We were finally able to get in to drop our bags off, but still had no response from her. I had also asked verification on the time of our ride to the airport, but again got no response. We ended up having to walk to the train and taking public transport to the airport. She was very friendly leading up to the stay, but the lack of response the day of made it very frustrating and difficult. The place itself was beautiful and very clean. There was even a farmers market happening right outside when we checked out.
