Great Home Away From Home. Great location for getting to anywhere in Vancouver. The ground floor apartment had every possible thing you could need, comfy furniture, beds, plenty of towels, fridge freezer etc (no dishwasher however). Jennifer and Jean, exceptionally friendly hosts, even supplied all the toiletteries you need. The apartment was also very, very clean and quiet so after a very busy day you always managed to get a good sleep. We took our laptop as there is free internet access at the apartment. The neighbourhood is also "funky", Commercial Drive around the block, Whole Foods, MEC and beaches are within about 10-20 mins drive and makes a great end to a busy day watching the sun going down. Overall we could not recommend this apartment more, we all thought it was perfect and if we need to find somewhere else in Vancouver again this will definitely be the place. Great value for money!
Taken Care Of. Friendly communication. We were really catered to as a family with a 5 & 9 year old with toys, coloring books puzzles and movies. Even an extra Teddy in case one was left at home. There was also a jar of freshly ground coffee as well as other staples like sugar, salt, oil, vinegar and mini chocolate bars for those late night sweet cravings. The suite was clean, comfortable and bright. A lovely little garden sitting area out in front was very relaxing. The park just outside the front gate was great! The park hosts a most amazing summer market on Saturdays, it was a real treat and a fun way to spend our day. Everything we needed was close by. I would say this is a perfect home base for anyone exploring and visiting Vancouver with kids and a pet because of the wonderful park just outside the door. That is what we loved. There is even a year round ice rink right across the street. We also really loved the friendly and welcoming feeling we got when we booked the suite and arrived to see what care was taken to make everyone feel at home:)
Home Away From Home. We have loved our home away from home! The hosts are wonderful people who have a fantastic knowledge of Vancouver, were always willing to help and were sweet enough to put a couple of personal touches for our daughters 2nd birthday. The suite had everything we needed for our week's stay, from a well-catered kitchen that enabled us to cook every night to a toy box with outdoor equipment and coloring books and crayons. Its location was perfect with a short walk to the Skytrain, buses, supermarket, cafes and laundromat. Being right across the road from a park that had a lake and children's playground was perfect, and our daughter spent many happy hours playing in the sand and paddling in the water. We would highly recommend this suite, and will definitely stay here again, in part to enable us to catch up with Jen & Jean again.
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! We've spent 10 weeks in this lovely suite with our small dog and our cat and we loved it! Everything was perfect, Jen & Jean are the perfect hosts, pet (and human) friendly, always very helpful and they showed us a lot of beautiful places in Vancouver and around (and thanks again for the lovely Salmon Burger ;-). The suite is well located near all useful amenities, very clean, fully furnished and quiet. We really hope to come back one day! If you have to choose a place for your next vacation in Vancouver, do not hesitate, the Trout Lake Suite is the perfect place!
A Home Away From Home. We have just returned from a 3 day stay at this wonderful spot. My husband and I feel so fortunate to have found this "gem" of accommodation. The suite is immaculate, bright and comfortable. Jen has done a wonderful job in making her guests feel that they are truly in a home away from home. The location, close to all city transit, is perfect in that a stroll around Trout Lake which is across the street, definitely rounds out the Vancouver experience. On street parking is a bonus! Any future tips to Vancouver to visit family will be booked around "availability" at this place.
Great Location. This is a great location. Less than half an hour from most of the attractions Vancouver has to offer. Jen and Jean were great. We appreciated how much privacy they gave us, but was always available when we needed help. Huge park across the street where we ran into lots of friendly locals that offered plenty of advice on restaurants and things to see. We will definitely come back.
Amazing! This was the first time I have ever travelled out of the U.S., and I stayed at the suite with my mom and 3 children. The Trout Lake suite was so wonderful, and perfect for our travels. We stayed 3 nights, and everything we wanted to see was within 20 minutes of the suite. It was so nice to be able to go out all day, and come back to the suite and fix dinner for my family, and then put on a movie for the kids as they wound down for the night. Jen was amazing, and was so helpful, kind and accommodating. It felt like we had known her for years! The suite was so perfect, and even accommodated the 5 of us comfortably. It was so special too that Jen left coloring books, crayons, and balloons to welcome the kids and help them feel at home. Jen also gave us a map of all the local attractions, and told us the best places to visit based on our travel style. When we left, Jen and Jean were there to say goodbye, and wish us well on our journey. The location was perfect with the park across the street, and it was like staying with friends, but yet having the privacy of our own suite. We were definitely spoiled, and will not stay anywhere else but here when we travel to Vancouver again. Thank you so much!
Awesome apartment!! I spent the first week of July 2012 in the apartment and loved it! The owners, Jen and Jean, are very friendly and helpful, and were there immediately if I had any questions or needed anything. The apartment is newly renovated and is very bright, comfortable, and quiet, and is in an amazing location right across from a park and brand new recreation centre. It is easy to get to downtown and to the ocean. The things I liked best were the amazing service, that it felt very comfortable, clean and safe, and the location is perfect!
A Very Pleasant Place To Stay! Trout Lake Suite is the perfect accommodation for a short term stay. We loved the area with its beautiful mountain view. Access to downtown tourist destinations was just a Skytrain ride away. The suite was well appointed with the comforts of home as well as the high tech needs of today's world - a beautiful Mac computer and wi-fi. Jen was available if needed yet completely unobtrusive. We will definitely return and will recommend it to friends.
