Our second stay at Bay View House was as good as the first. Once again, we were impressed with the accommodation and Colleen looked after us very well. As I mentioned in my first review, Bay View House is very well equipped. We appreciated being able to wash and dry our clothes following a trip to Vancouver Island. As I mentioned previously, Colleen brings a cooked breakfast every morning, and there are additional food items in the fruit bowl and the fridge. Bay View House is in a very nice and safe residential area in Vancouver and transport into town is easy on the number 14 bus. We highly recommend Bay View House to anyone visiting Vancouver.

We liked everything about Bay View House

Lovely apartment in a pleasant neighborhood of Vancouver. Everything in the apartment was modern and worked well. The bedroom was very quiet with a firm, comfortable bed. The sweets and chocolate were a nice touch. Colleen made a nice breakfast every morning with eggs and fresh vegetables. The apartment is right on a major bus line that runs into the city center. It is also near several beaches, the University of BC campus, and shops and restaurants.

No complaints at all.

We were met on arrival by Colleen and given a tour. The suite was bright, clean and well set up. The bedroom has two closets, a comfortable queen bed, and little desk next to the bed. The bathroom was bright, with large soft towels and provided toiletries. Hot water was hot, the shower pressure was good. The kitchen was full, with a fridge/freezer, stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, kettle and cutlery. There was a small dining table with four chairs next the kitchen, leading into a small living room with a couch, TV and coffee table. The suite has a sliding deck door leading out to deck area with table and chairs, and a lounger overlooking a beautiful back yard with nicely done landscaping. The parking spot for the suite was back there with a privacy gate. The suite is on the lower level of the house along with another suite--access is through a code lock back door into a hallway, with the entrances to the two units there. Colleen lives upstairs. Colleen provided some chocolates and cookies as welcome, and there was a jug of orange juice and some bottled water in the fridge, a tin of Tim Horton's coffee and a loaf of bread. Breakfast is provided at the time of your choosing, with choice of milk or juice, Yogurt, and either a cheese omelette or eggs, and ham or smoked salmon. It was delicious. The neighbourhood is very good, nice for walking, bus access just outside the door, close to UBC and to restaurants on West Broadway (The Eatery and True Confections are great). Overall this was an excellent stay and we just wish we had had more time there!

Nothing really.

Colleen was an excellent host. She was very helpful and was available for any questions. She made wonderful breakfasts. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the little extras like coffee, and some fruit, milk, and water already stocked in the fridge. And a private patio to sit out over looking a beautiful garden.

We really enjoyed our stay here - we had our own space which was clean and spacious with all the facilities we could have asked for. Colleen was super friendly and helpful, and made us a lovely breakfast each morning. The location was great, a short walk from the shops and Jericho beach, and a pleasant longer walk to Kits.

Nothing

Perfect location to start your vacation in British Columbia with a visit to Vancouver. Bay View House is located in a quiet prime residential area with Jericho Beach close by. Bus stop is right across the street and serves downtown area every 20 mins or so. Colleen is a very welcoming host who runs her B&B ship shape. We absolutely loved it staying at Bay View House for the first 3 nights of a 3 weeks trip through B.C.

Nothing

Spotlessly clean. Host had thought of things that we’d need and provided lots of food and beverages. Beds very comfortable. Basic toiletries provided. Very close to bus stops so easy to get to places. Car parking also available.

Bay View House is best described as a "home away from home". Impeccably maintained, spotlessly clean, and perfectly located, this place is exactly what we were looking for. Colleen's wonderful hospitality is greatly appreciated and made out stay just so much more comfortable. Also, Vancouver is a busy city, and the two nights we spent there were some of the quietest in my memory.

Nothing to think of.

Colleen was an excellent host and provided everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The rooms and bathroom were meticulously cleaned, plus all the amenities we’d need for our short stay.
