Point Grey Guest House

From the time of arrival to the time we checked out we were treated royally. Georgia ensured that we had whatever we required to make our stay special and she was available if required but unobtrusive which is our preference when travelling. We stayed in the garden suite which we enjoyed as it was private - we could cook our own meals and come and go as we pleased. The convenience of the express buss No 99 along 10th Ave was terrific - took us to the Skytrain and from there we could travel anywhere in the lower mainland. Compass Pass for Seniors is excellent - only $2.10 per trip excluding rush hour - - there are 3 zones which cost for each - but certainly the ONLY way to travel in Vancouver - traffic is never ending. Its very close to the beaches and the sunsets on the beach are amazing.

Georgia is a wonderful host and gave us some excellent spots to explore. Her guest house is extremely clean and homey. Our bed was huge and super comfortable and the room was just delightful. Georgia is a wonderful person and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her in passing on our way in and out of the house. You can tell instantly that a lot of love went into this home and it is decorated beautifully. We hope to see Georgia again on our travels as she made our trip to Vancouver. Thanks again Georgia, we shall think of you when we walk the locks back in England xxx

I was not able to sleep well because the room did not have an air conditioner, so it was very hot at night in the summer time. I asked an old land lady about this matter. She told me, " If you feel hot, you can open the windows at night, but big spiders might come into your room, but the spiders do not hurt you". I was very surprised to hear what she said because I hate spiders. Besides, if I open the windows, the noise of buses and trucks coming and going was loud. Actually, there is a bus stop on the street in front of Point Grey Guest House! The tall trees and bushes around this B&B probably keep spiders and insects alive. In addition to the noise, the corners of the room smelled musty. What is worse, I had a cold. My cold was getting worse day by day. Eventually, I became a pneumonia. I was able to know I was pneumonia, when I read the medical record at the hospital later. Even when I had a cold, the old land lady was very unkind to me. As I visited Vancouver to study English at the University of British Columbia (UBC) for 2 months, I booked to stay for 2 months at Point Grey Guest House because it is close to UBC. However, I cancelled to stay this B&B and changed to stay another hotel downtown in Vancouver, I was patient and stayed at Point Grey Guest House for 2 weeks, though. I should have stayed there only one day. Honestly speaking, this was the worst accommodation that I have ever experienced in my life.

We had a two day layover in Vancouver and the Point Grey Guest House was perfect! The location made it easy to explore other parts of the city. The hosts were attentive and accommodating and the Cambria room was very clean and so charming. This was a great find and we would definitely book again!
