A clean home in a quiet residential area. A public busline and a couple small bakery/coffee shops a block away.
Within 1.3 kms of walking is the ICBC licensing office (one direction) and a London Drugs (different direction) and numerous other shops and restaurants.
The hosts were very considerate and unobtrusive, but helpful when asked.
And the room cost was very good.
If I'm ever in Vancouver again, this will be my first choice of accommodations.
I did not think that the pictures were accurate, very tight quarters for room we were in. Host Lisa was wonderful, the bathroom was a good size, breakfast every morning.

It was nice to have a private bedroom with a locking door and private bathroom. This is an older house and not much living space to use. Breakfast was adequate but not as pictured. Located on a quiet street with street parking.
Super great B&B with great hospitality. The neighbourhood was very safe and the location was super convenient for getting downtown. We loved our stay here.
The sunshine house was lovely and made our stay in Vancouver very easy and nice. The owner was very welcoming, and we were able to take buses to downtown & back pretty easily.

The room was clean, family was nice. A suggestion would be to put some railings down at the bottom as that last stair to get the sidewalk was very slippery and i fell. Other then that it was a great stay.
Street parking, room and beds were clean and comfortable - didn’t eat breakfast but used fridge downstairs to store leftover food. Host was friendly and available for anything we needed. Would stay again.
One suggestion: having a full length mirror in room would be nice.

Location was nice and quiet, and close to transit. Bed was comfy. A private washroom was promised but the youngest son and his friend used it when they weren’t supposed to during the first two days of our stay. The host herself was pleasant and helpful, but as this was a family home, the younger members of the household could be noisy at times, and the B&B room did not feel very private being as it was situated by the front door of the house. There was nothing special about breakfast: some cereal, yoghurt, Dempsters bread and store-bought croissants. The eggs, however, were fresh. The photos belied the actual state of the house, which is in need of much maintenance. The floors outside the bedroom were not recently cleaned, and the bedroom was smaller and in greater disrepair than advertised. The room seems more suitable for a student renter than for B&B accommodations. The place simply did not have the comfort and professionalism of a B&B, though we appreciate that the host was trying to make it work.
Lisa is an excellent host, very sweet and available on a call.
I enjoyed our stay.
The location is excellent, close to bus stop and only one busy away from vancover downtown.
The neighborhood of sunshine house is so beautiful and so is the sunshine house.
The Sunshine House was very nice in a very quiet neighborhood. The host was very nice as well. Our room was great with a big king sized bed. Our only issue was we were told there no breakfast served on Sundays because it’s their day off. This wasn’t mentioned to us until Sunday morning. Plus there was no adjustments in the price without a breakfast.
Lisa provides a clean, comfy & convenient B&B for a visit to Vancouver. A healthy breakfast as well to set one up for a good day. I appreciated her allowing us to 'park' our luggage ahead of the check-in time, as we weren't driving a vehicle.
