"Enjoy modern comforts from one of Vacouver's iconic character homes. Steps to a shops and restaurants but located on a quiet tree lined street. The bright and airy rental includes use of a chefs kitchen, a bedrooms, living room and a private bathroom (shower is shared with owner). The outdoor amenities include private sun deck and lush gardens. The home is 1/2 block to a park, 10 mins to commercial drive's restaurants, 15 mins walk to skytrain and a quick drive from the airport. You are welcome to use the kitchen, bathroom, living room and the outdoor spaces all of which are shared with me and my pup Puddy. I use the downstairs bathroom and shower on occasion (I usually shower at my gym) and therefore the bathroom is 90% private. You are welcome to all common areas, kitchen, bathroom, living room and the outdoor amenities. Any food you want to keep can be kept on the right side of the fridge and dry food on the empty shelf on the white bookcase in the kitchen. :) I often leave my guests to themselves, but please reach out if there is anything you need or have questions- I am always happy to help. The Neighbourhood is without a better word, exceptional, charming and vibrant. Nestled into a quiet midrise neighborhood my Grandview Woodlands character home is located a 12 walk (uphill and 8 min (downhill) walk to Commercial drive also known as little Italy which is bustling with coffee shops, stores, cafes (Livia is my absolute fave!) restaurants and is near the largest transit hub in the city, commercial Broadway station, which gives you access to downtown via skytrain in 8 minutes There is plenty of free street parking right outside the home, as well as a bus stop less than a block away. Furthermore, lots of adventure is available on foot, with a 15 minute walk to the sky train you can get anywhere in the city via it's rapid transit network and straight downtown in 8 minutes. The number 7 bus has a stop less than one block away which also takes you right into the city - more info about the bus routes are in a guests welcome message. I do share the home with my furry roomate Puddy, who lives here with me full time. If you are visiting loving dogs (and not being allergic to dogs) is important to note. I am working on his barking - but sometimes he barks at other dogs as the walk by the street and he sees them out the window. He is very sweet and does lots of tricks for treats
