Bottom Line
The mid-range Home Suite Home distinguishes itself from competitors with an artisan aesthetic, homey vibe, and full apartments with complete kitchens. This property is located in a quiet and upscale (yet still laid back) residential neighborhood outside Vancouver's bustling center but still near the beach. There aren't many features, other than a whimsical backyard patio and laundry facilities, but the suites are stylish with full kitchens and living rooms. Wi-Fi and parking are free. Past guests report that the owner/host is friendly and willing to go above and beyond to help his guests.

Scene
Creative types and community
The atmosphere at Home Suite Home is almost magical, a bit hippy-ish and psychedelic. Ornamentation and folk-art stylings decorate the entire garden. Think overflowing green plants, kitschy folk art, and simple wooden and wicker furniture. It's not for everyone, but the property attracts a lot of free-spirited travelers, creative minded artists, and families -- basically, anyone who doesn't mind sharing communal patio space. During the Christmas holidays, the owner erects a three-story, decorated tree.
Location
Residential neighborhood in Kitsilano
Home Suites Home has a serene and calm location in a laid back but pretty residential neighborhood in the beach community of Kitsilano. The streets are tree-lined and quiet; most residents are young, hip families. The hotel is close enough to Vancouver's center that it's accessible via public transportation but far from the noise and chaos. Kitsilano Beach is a few minutes away, as is shopping, grocery stores, and restaurants along Fourth Avenue. Parking here is free.
Rooms
Spacious and artistic one-bedroom suites with full kitchens
There are just three one-bedroom suites (more like spacious apartments than hotel rooms) at Home Suite Home, and each is loaded with character and helpful extras. Free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and local art are standard. Decor is stylish with hardwood floors, molded chairs, and a modern-looking fireplace in the Cypress Suite. Each suite has a full kitchen complete with enough appliances and gadgets to cook a Thanksgiving feast. White-tiled bathrooms include shower/tub combos and single sinks. The Loft Suite is nice for families who want a little extra privacy, as the bedroom is located up a flight of spiral stairs, but maybe not ideal for little ones. The Suites are available for long-term stays and rates vary, by season. Coffee, tea, beach towels, and cleaning supplies are supplied in each Suite.
Features
Laundry facilities and a shared garden
There aren't a lot of features at this one-of-a-kind property but free Wi-Fi and parking are nice perks. The laundry room and backyard deck with a garden and small dining area are shared features between whoever is staying at the Suites. The friendly owner offers extra services such as grocery shopping, babysitting, or pet care for an added fee. Those looking for privacy can simply stay in their fully equipped Suites or explore the cute neighborhood, its nearby shops, and beach.
