Manor Guest House

« Close to the sky train, walking distance to many places The bed was very comfortable and the street was quiet »

« Nice garden and patio area. »

« This house has a bit of an Addams Family vibe. It's a charming old house with squeaky floorboards, kinda fun. Although old, nothing is really dilapidated or broken and all the comforts of a modern house are there. We booked a room with a shared bathroom but the host was nice to update us to a room with private bath twice (I stayed twice, that's how nice it was). It's kind of an air bnb but the owner seems to live in the big grey house next door. It appeared there was other people there but overall it was rather quiet. The room comes with a small kitchen and a modest set of things to cook or eat with. It's perfect if you want to get take out and eat it on a real plate with real cutlery. The TV had mostly hockey games (Canada 'Eh) Check in was a bit confusing. I guess normally an email gets sent out with instructions but we booked kinda last minute. There is parking however there are only a few spots. We did not have an issue finding one. The area is generally nice although on one night there was an "urban camper" with a "crystal collection" who quite loudly narrated her reorganization of all her (many many many) belongings in her car. Vancouver....I guess? It's a short walk to a street with restaurants and a place for ice cream and cheese cake. It's just the perfect amount of distance from downtown to be able to get free parking and still be able to walk into town. We went to the park and also the botanical garden. It was fabulous. »
