Well, this place does the three important things: - very good breakfast - comfortable bed - easy contact and any service you need It is a bit pricy, but more or less the Vancouver standard price range. If you dislike ordinary hotel life and like close contact to locals Canadian, thats the place you will have to go for. You... More

While in a very pleasant neighbourhood, this home does not seem to have been renovated with guests comfort im mind. Two of the "suites" and the "social areas" are on the lower level (half height below grade) & are cold & damp. The surfaces everywhere are hard, which robs any chance at coziness & makes for a noisy ambience (including... More

My mission statement is to provide my guests with a B&B experience that they consider very special. Clearly, I have failed you. I so much wish that I had know how unhappy you were before you left. You have my guarantee that I would have done my utmost to provide, to the best of my ability, all the individual needs... More

House on Dunbar provides very good quality B & B accoomodation in a residential area of Vancouver. Once you get the hang of the local buses (with a stop very near at hand) there are good connections downtown and to the university area where the great Museum of Anthropology is situated. Mrs Renwick is a helpful host and provides a... More

Joanne was a fantastic hostess who all but made our trip! She was so inviting as well as accommodating. It was very obvious that she was busy most of the day, as she had two other rooms full as well with other guests and is the only person working. That being said, she often took the time to come down... More

An impromptu trip up north from Seattle to Vancouver left us scurrying for the "right" accommodations. Weekends away are rare and therefore precious. Joanne, our hostess, was gracious and responsive. The accommodations felt like home; cozy, accessible, very clean and in a quiet neighborhood - as though we never left Seattle at all. We brought bicycles and Joanne was kind... More

My husband and I had a great experience at this bed and breakfast. The owner/operator was very accomodating, friendly and offered breakfast choices. Bring your slippers if staying in the basement suite.

We stayed in the Kitsilano suite. The "sandblasted glass floor-to-ceiling windows" in the website's description are not exterior windows. The hostess's office/sewing room is on the other side of the window wall so you have neither view nor ventilation. This was disappointing. Since a couple of the upper windows (transom-style) were open, we wondered if people in the office or... More

I have just finished an addition to the Kitsilano room. I have added an exterior opening window and in-room air conditioner. As well there is now a new plasma TV. Did you not want to use the guest robes and slippers for trips to the bathroom? You never noted that the rate for this room is $106 US; a total... More
