Guest Access:
Private space, entire place. Includes outdoor patios that are open to the public off the street but feels extremely private being up top with a semi-shared covered patio (only with other tenants next door).
The Neighborhood:
Welcome to Marpole, a welcoming South Vancouver neighbourhood with a relaxed local vibe, independent cafés, neighbourhood shops, and convenient access to the rest of the city.
A local favourite is East Café, a community hub known for its coffee, creative atmosphere, and lively events. Depending on the schedule, you may find live music, jazz and jam sessions, open mic nights, comedy, and creative workshops. Check their event calendar during your stay to see what’s happening!
With convenient connections to downtown Vancouver, Richmond, and the airport, Marpole is a great home base for exploring the city while experiencing a more local side of Vancouver.

Loved our stay here the building was so rustic it felt like I was in a olden days with updated furniture and a/c in very room was the vest the shower was good also and the kitchen had all we needed to make lunch and privacy and all roo
Charming character home. Host was communicative and helped with check in. At the time of my stay none of the windows were able to open so there was a slight muskiness to the space due to lack of air flow/ventilation and the building’s age. The bath tub has a large area of peeling paint/finish on one side that is not visible in the photos. Bed was comfortable. Space is nice and quiet. Very cute cafe downstairs.
We rented the apartment for three nights. Had a fantastic stay. Checked in without having to meet anyone, very spacious, clean, and accurate to the listing photos. Very old building with creaky floors, but tons of character. Great communication with the building manager. Highly recommend and I hope this unit is available next time I need to rent.

We liked that the property was big enough to accommodate 6 as advertised. It was close to restaurants and commercial establishments. Towels were clean and kitchen and bathrooms were well supplied; We didn't like that it had long stairs, parking was on the street although we were lucky getting a spot close to the property during our stay; we could hear cars going by; creaky floors; musty smells permeated around. We also found a mouse trap behind the bed, though we didn't see any mice.
An absolute vibe, beds were super comfy. The cafe is delicious! I highly recommend if you want a chill stay, close to basically everything Vancouver has to offer.
Mackenzie was super helpful and very accommodating. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed ;)) and we LOVED the coffee shop and cafe below the unit and the walkability to the grocery store. Very nostalgic place to stay!

The location was great; so close to the airport and not far from the City Centre, with accessible grocery stores and gas stations nearby.Mackenzie was very communicative and shared all relevant info well ahead of time, and when she was
Close to airport and an easy drive up to the U of BC campus. Lovely charm in the unit with an awesome bathtub! Lots of space of everyone in our family. It is on a busier street so the traffic was constant and a long flight of stairs so not accessible. Overall a lovely stay and host was easy to connect with.
The decor was excellent, old building with new appliances and decor.
There was road construction so traffic was a mess, not the fault of anyone, just an ongoing thing in Van. Road noise was bad.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming space and the host was genuinely interested in our comfort. We knew that the third bed was in the living room and a pullout couch and that it did not have AC. What we did not realize was that room also did not have windows that could open. Unfortunately we were in town for one very warm day/night. This is most certainly beyond the hosts control! I would stay again.
The whole suite was fully equipped - full kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and absolutely charming! I do not hesitate to divulge that I am OCD and extremely impressed! The neighborhood foot traffic is quiet, the street is litterally clean. Grocery store well within walking distance, very suitable for family and friends that enjoy a peaceful stay
