“Happy Aussies”
Wonderful house in a perfect spot. Short stroll to Commercial Drive which is full of fabulous places to eat and drink. Not far from the Subway to take you Downtown. And bring you 'home' to your little piece of Vancouver paradise. 'Molly's Room' was beautifully set up. Big comfy bed and pillows. Even Netflix. Took our breath away when we first opened the door. And with a bathroom, complete with chandelier, endless hot water, and gorgeous feature tiles. Watched the sun set from the front balcony. Great value. Do yourselves a favour.

“First Time Visit to Vancouver”
The introductory e-mail told us all we needed to know to gain access and feel comfortable in our well-appointed room. The owners were incredibly helpful and friendly. We had all we needed and were sufficiently close to Downtown Vancouver to make it a good base from which those who are active can explore the city. The property is interesting and the business model is well-worked.

“Must Book! Amazing B&B.”
As soon as we arrived we felt as if we had arrived at our families home, extremely welcoming host. The room was set up lovely, with a complimentary bottle of wine. On street parking was easy and 15 mins into the city car park (all day parking £5) - You could walk to Commercial Street for many options for dinner. Would 100% book again here.

“An absolute gem”
The Ivy is a real gem! Spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and cosy. Fantastic location on a safe, quiet residential street, 2 mins walk from "The Drive" where there are several fantastic cafes, bars and restaurants. 15 min uber into downtown Vanxouver and port. Tram 10 mins walk away. Complimentary wine in the room a lovely gesture.
