Wonderful Stay
The home had everything we needed and more for our adult family stay. Great location and parking available on the street. The owner was available readily if we had any questions. Would definitely recommend!

Family Reunion
This roomy and cosy home was the perfect place to host our relaxed family reunion. The farmers' market at the park across the street and the leafy Kitsiliano neighborhood were extra pluses.

Fantastic house and location
We had an amazing time staying at the house. It worked really well for our family and the 2 children really enjoyed the big trampoline in the garden.
Liz was a great host and really good communication before and during the stay to make sure everything was ok.
A great location, a nice park opposite with a playground and farmers market. Close to bus stops for easy travelling around the town.

family reunion
lovely home, across from park with farmers market on day we arrived, daily excursions to different Kitsilano coffee shops and book stores, Granville island were walkable and easy. Lounging and visiting with family in living room, big kitchen and back deck was exactly the vibe we were looking for.

Needs basic investment, cleaning and care
Great location yet Host’s property is lacking basic cleaning, fixing up, amenities and space for renters during our two week stay.
Broken Living room TV (we were told it was due to Covid!) no effort to replace TV or solve problem despite us being on a two week stay with kids, worn and broken trampoline (one of our sons hurt his foot falling thru hole on trampoline), worn and tired towels, furniture etc
Kids rooms Pillows and sheets stained and unhygienic appearance..
No space to store our kids clothes for two week stay. House is jammed packed all cupboards and storage space with Host’s things.
Recycling and garbage area jammed packed with garbage and covered in flies / wasps. We had to clean the kitchen and garbage area with bleach on day two as we found infestation of “silver fish” bugs and flies bugs from garbage area coming in to kitchen when we cooked.
Upstairs room were extremely hot day and night and no fans or A/C provided. 29 degrees one night. After complaining Host told us to open windows to create cross flow which did nothing. Downstairs renter brought a fan to loan us and this did little to cool down room for my teenager.
Property description leads you to believe it is an entire home rental yet on arrival we discovered three adults living full time in the basement. Liz assured us they were quiet and would not bother yet on our third day one adult came up and complained our kids were making too much noise walking around in the mornings so we felt we had to walk on eggshells the rest of the stay.
The kitchen is sold as a professional chef kitchen yet we found a stove top extractor which doesn't work and cooking a steak led to the hallway fire alarm going off for several minutes on two occasions. Fridge / cupboards are left with lots of Hosts food and no space for all our food during a two week stay so we had to keep our food on a counter top and that is when we woke to “silverfish” bugs on our food packages.
No space for our kids to store clothes
Host was very communicative yet offered no immediate solution to any of our complaints; instead blaming Covid for the reason many issues were found.
No discount on our stay or money back was offered.
Host Liz admitted the house is worn and told us the high cost to stay at her house is due to location in nice Vancouver area.
We were disappointed (and surprised as not in line with the property description) with our stay from many angles.

We fell in love with Kits
Elizabeth has been a wonderful host, always taking the time to respond quickly and help us with suggestions. The location of the property was fantastic for us, a family of six (three generations), being right on Connaught Park such a wonderful space and facility.. and being in the heart of cool, relaxed, friendly Kitsilano. Great restaurants and beaches nearby and easy transport options into downtown Vancouver.
Perfect, brilliant place and time.
Thank you Elizabeth!

Perfect In Every Way
Liz’s home in Kitsalano is the perfect house in the perfect location. We found everything to be as described and more. Liz accommodated several special requests both before and during our stay, always responding quickly and positively. The kitchen is a dream come true for a family gathering that can start on the comfortable and sunny deck, and then move in doors to a spacious cooking and eating area. The view across the park to the mountains is stunning. We will be back!!
