My home is five short blocks from the ocean. It's in Kitsilano, a safe family neighbourhood filled with heritage houses, leafy streets and beautiful gardens.
The house is within walking distance of many excellent restaurants, delis, bakeries, grocery stores, yoga studios and several parks including Kitsilano and Jericho Beaches.
A block away are several buses to downtown Vancouver, about a twelve minute trip. There are Rogers Mobi bikes for rent only a block away.
The Space
A charming heritage home with a modern, renovated kitchen, antique furniture, including a piano. It has a wide front porch, perfect for meals outside. The house is surrounded by a beautiful garden.
There is free, easy to find, parking on our street.
Guest Access
The house is on one floor with outside steps leading up to the house, so doesn't have wheel chair access. The washer and dryer are in the basement.

I love travelling, discovering new places and meeting fellow travellers. My favourite travel destinations include France, especially Paris where I lived for seven years, Spain, Italy and Japan but I'm open and looking forward to new travel destinations.
I'm a visual artist, working with both paintings and textiles and I'm also an avid gardener so my home is set in the midst of a lovely garden. .
