General Overview

Ours is a lovely 2 bedroom renovated character home with a large garden in the middle of Vancouver. The character of our place is modern arts and crafts styling with lots of antiques and charm.

The Space

Our home is a two bedroom garden suite with a full living room with fireplace, a modern kitchen, and an updated tiled bathroom. There are two full bedrooms and a pull out sofa in the living room if required. Our suite walks out to a 400 sq foot garden patio outdoor living room that fronts on to a lovely enclosed garden. We're a stand-alone home on our own property. We're on a tree-lined street in a family neighbourhood close to the centre of the city, beaches, mountains, parks and sites.

Guest Access

We are living in our ground floor Garden suite. Access has two sets of small stairs but is otherwise very accessible. There are no stairs in the suite. Parking for cars is on the street in front. (there is always space).

Notes

We have a labradoodle 'Murpy' who won't be around for our exchanges. Our floors are all hardwood, no carpet, so allergies shouldn't pose a problem.

It's a 10 min drive to downtown. 15 minutes to Stanley Park. 25 minutes to the local mountains with skiing, hiking, trams, Capilano Suspension Bridge etc ..., In 15-20 minutes you can be at all the local beaches. Granville island and all of False Creek is 15 minutes away. There is loads of shopping and restaurants nearby.

Nearest airport

Getting Around

Vancouver's transit system is good so getting around by bus and skytrain are all pretty easy. There are three main bus stops within blocks of our house, a main one just half a block away. Vancouver is a very walkable city and a very bike friendly city. There are bike paths and routes all over. We typically leave guests a bike map. We can offer a couple of bikes for you to use while here. We are open to a vehicle exchange. Restaurants and some shops are all very close by (at the end of our street).

brock

Brock is a retired Event and Entertainment Designer and former business owner. Nicci is a landscape architect. We both love travel, the arts, theatre, dance, art, history, architecture. Brock is a longtime native of Vancouver as his great grandfather moved before the founding of the city. We both enjoy all Vancouver's outdoor pleasures including skiing, hiking, kayaking, sailing, fly fishing, salt water fishing, cycling, golf ... all of which are at our doorstep. We have exchanged in the past but want to do much much more coming up in our future - both short term and long term. We have lived and worked all over Canada and are proud Canadians! We love travelling in Canada but also through Europe, Central America, Great Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia. We very much want to see Asia, India, New Zealand, Australia, and South America, ... though we are open to all possibilities. We don't have kids so it's just us. We have a labradoodle named Murphy who doesn't come with us and has a home to hang out in separate from ours when were away. We love meeting new people in new places. We are responsible and will take care of your place like it is our own.
