Reviews of The Ivy on Parker Guest House 4 stars

Beautiful bathroom with a wonderful shower and bath. Comfortable bed with extra comfy pillows. View of the garden and good coffee and tea to make in the room.

The room was very comfortable. Everything worked and there were several special treats. We enjoyed the quietness of the neighborhood and the convenience of several good restaurants only 2 blocks away: Uprising Bakery, Sushi, Bombay and Du Soleil breakfast.

The layout of the space was excellent, and the bed was very comfortable!

We loved the location in a quiet residential neighborhood and the common space balcony that we could enjoy in the evening.

Television only seemed accessible if you subscribe to streaming services, which we don't. Watching movies or a bit of television is something we enjoy occasionally when we stay in hotels.

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.

Liked everything. And we rarely write reviews.

Great location- not in center city, but close enough to get there quickly. Quiet. Close to lots of restaurants and shopping.

HVAC was a little finnicky. That's it, really.

Comfortable feel, great location and Netflix was a nice touch.

Parking was a bit of a challenge.

The location is great, close to a lot of shops.

This is just an improvement to what is already good: more cream for coffee and tea please. We know we can ask for it but don't want to disturb the host for such a small request.

The house is on a beautiful shady street with restaurants and bus service nearby. Room and bath were nicely decorated and had all the amenities we needed, plus a few treats. We appreciated the two luggage racks. The host is helpful and responds quickly.

The room was comfortable well appointed. It was easy to access the building and the room. The location was convenient for restaurants and for exploring the area!

Parking was a challenge sometimes.

Everything

Coffee and all amenities were provided! Very comfortable and perfect size for our needs.

Nothing

The guest house was amazing. Nice large rooms. Beautiful kitchen with all necessary equipment. The bathroom was wonderful. Beautiful tub and large shower. The bed was extremely comfortable!

The only thing that was missing was a dining table and chairs. There was space at the counter to eat with 2 stools. We enjoy playing cards and games and there was really no space to sit and play.

Quiet leafy, neighbourhood Spacious apartment Shops and restaurants at the bottom of the street View of the city Great coffee down the street Shop at BOSA

If you can’t manage steps don’t stay here!

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.

Trying to use a laptop without a small table to lay it on proved interesting. Some in the neighbouring rooms didn't understand the information about noise levels.

We stayed in "The Retreat" suite for a week in August and it was phenomenal. I picked this suite in particular because I was traveling with my elderly mother and there were fewer stairs needed to get in and out of the suite compared to other rooms in the home. We loved the beautiful garden in the back of the house. The neighborhood has many excellent restaurants in walking distance. We never had an issue finding street parking. The suite itself was SPOTLESS and incredibly comfortable. Everything we could need was provided, and I particularly liked the fact that The Retreat had a washer/dryer. I really appreciated the fact that a lot of the products they used (e.g. soaps, coffee etc.) were from local companies. Margit was truly the most amazing host. She made us feel so welcomed from the moment we arrived and gave us great pearls of information about the area. She was always available if we had a question or needed help, and we always felt so well taken care of during our week long stay. Thank you, Margit!

Great location close to restaurants and easy to drive, bike or walk to attractions and more pubs and restaurants! Margit gave us valuable local insights and was friendly and approachable! The Ivy was comfortable, beautifully appointed and had excellent views from the balcony! Definitely on the top of our list next time we visit Vancouver!

Quiet Near restaurants Near transport Very helpful staff

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.

Everything was great :-)

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.

Everything was wonderful. A bottle of water in the room would have been great, but splitting hairs there.

It was spotless and well appointed.
