My husband and I stayed at this B&B recently for two nights, it was a wonderful, comfortable place and the owner Simone is THE BEST, she goes all out for breakfast, and makes sure everyone is happy. The room was comfortable, we had the wedgewood room with it's own ensuite. I'm a fan and will be back. Price is very... More

Simone - you are fabulous! Quite possibly one of the best hosts I've encountered at a B&B - a genuinely lovely person and a real pleasure to chat with. You also make some lovely breakfasts. I spent 3 or 4 nites (can't quite recall now) back in August. I stayed in the Seabreeze room and enjoyed the view from my... More

Between Friends B&B in Vancouver is the perfect place to stay. Our hostess Simone has created a wonderful way-station catering to variety of international travellers. The rooms and surroundings are full of both heritage character and comfort and the breakfasts are delicious. Its a gem!

We booked the big room last minute for 3 nights and were advised by Simone that booking that particular room last minute did not have a cancellation policy. Unfortunately we were unable to use the booking and advised Simone. Instead of just taking our money she worked hard to fill the room so that we would not have to pay... More

We spent 6 nights at Simone's place and loved it. We stayed in the Seabreeze Room which even has a balcony where you have sun in the afternoon. The area is really nice, the beach not far away and the buses just around the corner. It's a very nice place to relax. The breakfast is fantastic!

SImone is the fabulous,friendly and fun owner of Between Friends, the fabulous friendly and fun B&B in Kitsalano. I am back in Canada and going to stay at Between Friends again - we have quite a tradition now of people from the Uni of Adelaide (Australia) staying at Simone's. This will be the fourth year in a row. Thanks Simone...see... More

The double bedroom upstairs has the most uncomfortable bed I have had since India! There is only one bathroom for 3 bedrooms. Bottom bedroom walls are paper thin & you will get woken up at 6.30am by the kitchen noise. The Proprietor overcharged me on leaving the B & B, showing no regard for my point of view at all.... More

I spent three nights at Simone's B&B, Between Friends, and was really glad that I did. Simone is a warm, welcoming and engaging host who makes sure that you are well taken care of. Her place is very well-kept, very clean and neat, and is also really charming. Although I stayed in the Fireplace Room - the basic room -... More

This bed & breakfast has no aspirations to be a luxurious pampering place as so many are today, but it's just fine as a no-frills place to stay. Friendly hosts and we liked the communal breakfasts; a great place to meet and chat to your fellow travellers. Breakfasts are ample but unadventurous. Requests for attention (in our case, a broken...
