Take the chance to stay in one of Vancouver’s most beautiful downtown laneways. Filled with community gardens and heritage houses, this large vacation rental studio is as unique as it is cozy.

Is this a chest or just the coolest coffee table ever? This vintage-chest-cum-coffee-table fits in with the theme perfectly. Don’t be surprised, because the living room is also the bedroom! Sleep peacefully in the heart of downtown Vancouver with the slight murmur and hum of the traffic outside. It is a place from which to enjoy the perfect city life.
