A FEW DETAILS WORTH NOTING

To help you plan your stay, please note that like many heritage Vancouver homes, The Yale includes period architecture with exterior entry stairs and narrower interior staircases between floors. These elements add to the home's character and charm. Guests with mobility considerations should take note when planning.

The home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original structure, so you may notice subtle variations in finishes that reflect its 80+ year history, part of what makes the home unique.

The host was great at communicating, check in process was super easy, and free parking was available. The location was great for local parks and running, close to main streets but far enough removed that it was quiet and safe for kids to play and scooter around. We had 14 people stay for 3 days, and while the kitchen and living room was tight for us - the beds were well placed throughout the house (upper attic, middle floor, and basement), the backyard was a favourite hang out spot, as well as the various nearby parks and coffee shops helped to make this stay feel spacious for us to gather for a memorable family weekend. The view of the mountains from the living room was a great surprise our first morning!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The host was welcoming. The home was nicely renovated and had everything we needed, including a washer and dryer with laundry detergent. It was also great there was tv. We were able to watch the Seahawks game! The neighborhood was quiet and seemed safe. The front stairs were frozen and there was one person who fell. I would recommend having some salt available in the winter.
