My children, granddaughter and I stayed at this lovely, comfortable home after travelling from across the country and the ocean! We had such a fun time revisiting Vancouver and getting to know Mount Pleasant. The kitchen, back deck and dining room were perfect for meals with family and friends!

We had a wonderful time in the Sammarco home. It was perfect for 6 people to comfortably stay. Neighbourhood is very charming but slightly out of the way from major attractions for the city. Will be my go to place to stay when in Vancouver with larger groups.

We were a family group of seven (parents, adult children and a grand-child) who stayed for a week and this house suited our needs exactly. This is an older house that has been beautifully renovated and well maintained. It is wonderfully decorated with art, photos and sculpture everywhere. The house is roomy with common areas for the group and private rooms for quiet time. The location is ideal for a stay in Vancouver - central, close to major thoroughfares and transit but in a quiet residential neighbourhood. I would highly recommend this property for a larger group.

This lovely home was just right for our one-week family get together. Great jumping-off point, friendly neighborhood, easy parking. The house gave us comfortable gathering places and plenty of space to wind down separately when desired. Really nice to have the outdoor spaces too, front and back, for dining and relaxing. We would come back in a heartbeat.

House is quite old with lots of stairs to get up to the bedrooms and lots of artwork. Neighborhood is nice, and has easy driving access to main tourist attractions. My friends and I rent a house each summer and this is the first one where the TV actually worked without problem!
We were surprised at how expensive some sites were, like Grouse Mountain and Capilano Bridge. Granville Island has lots of shops but it’s best to take a cab there as parking is almost nonexistent.

Three generations - grandparents, parents and two children - had a wonderful time sharing this lovely, art-filled home, with everything we needed for our visit to Vancouver for a family wedding. Parking was always available nearby. We enjoyed walks in the neighbourhood and the access to public transit a few blocks away.

House is ideal for family or two couples - affordable compared to staying downtown. Neighborhood was delightful! 10-15 min walk to bus and train. Kitchen was well-equipped and bedding comfortable. Gerry checked us in and was very welcoming and easy to reach and Maria, the owner was also quick to reply to questions. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely character home, close to the Drive and Main Street. Interesting and delightful art works everywhere, giving it a very personal feel. Bathrooms, kitchen, and furnishings could use updates but that all contributes to the character. A nice quiet city neighborhood.

Amazing place to book. The home was beautifully decorated. So comfortable! Great location. Check in process was easy and prompt. The home is centrally located. Parking was amazing, right in front of the house. The street was so quiet. The home had all of the amenities you need for a very comfortable visit. I highly recommend this home. We loved it. We had our entire family with us. Everyone loved it. Beds were so comfortable. Washer and dryer in the house to use. The front porch was perfect for drinking your morning coffee, reading, visiting with family. We travel a lot, always with VRBO. This is one of the best we have rented. I highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Vancouver. Owners, thank you for allowing us to have an amazing visit.

Property was pleasant but very dated. Had some parking problems because parking was mostly for residents with stickers. Priced fairly.

With 7 people, it's no small feat to find a place that will house all of us comfortably. This was the perfect home base, and we looked forward to returning every night we were in Vancouver. There was something new and interesting in the house everywhere we turned, and we had enough space to maneuver around each other.
Communication did get a bit jumbled at times because there were so many of us and there was a separate property manager along with the owners, to add even more lines of contact. But the property manager was very accommodating and the small issues (miscommunication about the bedding, dishwasher instructions being different between what was said verbally and what was written down, etc) were figured out very quickly.
We enjoyed our time here a lot. A lovingly decorated home.

Property was well equipped and property manager and owner were gracious and went above and beyond the call of duty. The house is old and the floors are a bit creaky so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

We had 4 great nights staying at Maria’s house before our cruise. The house had 3 very large bedrooms and easily accommodated 6 adults. Could easily have had additional guests very comfortably.
We took the bus to downtown a few times. Bus stop was just a short walk away. We walked to the mall to pick up groceries and beer and took a taxi back.
The neighbourhood is very residential and not very touristy- exactly what we wanted.
We had very quick and easy communication with both Gerry (property manager) and Maria (home owner) leading up to the trip and during the trip.
We spent a lot of time outdoors enjoying the bbq and back patio.
Would definitely stay at Maria’s again if we were back in Vancouver

The property was overgrown but also they were infested with raccoons and we could smell, hear and see them. Two of our members could smell raccoon urine the moment we went inside and that is not a very nice smell! The "garage" in the back garden was fixed up and rented out as was the basement and the third floor as well. So there were 4 rental properties in one which I was not expecting at all.
The house was in need of some repair especially the rear deck which had boards lifting up. One evening, the raccoons were making such a racket we went inside just in case they would come out. The raccoons entered the house through the ceiling of the back deck. Apparently the owners were aware of the raccoon problem but had not done anything about them.
We would like out money back for this shabby property.
