Guest Access:
Private space, entire place. Includes outdoor patios that are open to the public off the street but feels extremely private being up top with a semi-shared covered patio (only with other tenants next door).
The Neighborhood:
Welcome to Marpole, a welcoming South Vancouver neighbourhood with a relaxed local vibe, independent cafés, neighbourhood shops, and convenient access to the rest of the city.
A local favourite is East Café, a community hub known for its coffee, creative atmosphere, and lively events. Depending on the schedule, you may find live music, jazz and jam sessions, open mic nights, comedy, and creative workshops. Check their event calendar during your stay to see what’s happening!
