Comfortable Room in a Shared Home

The floor of the room was dirty. But in general, it worth the price. The owner was nice and answer fast by email. However Some people didn’t follow the silent rule. We were at the basement and some people were there 11pm to wash their clothes.

Nice area of Vancouver to stay, in the quiet residential block. The house was huge and beautiful. Our room was on the second floor, pretty spacious for three people, and had a nice view. For one night, it was okay, however, unfortunately, there were some guest(s) in other room(s) who left the shared spaces (entrance hall, kitchen, living room, laundry room) quite messy. We were unable to use the kitchen because someone left many things on the kitchen counter, like unwashed knife and tools, vegetables and fruits, and even some raw meat. I think we were just unlucky staying on a wrong day. It could have been a perfect place to stay as the house itself was very nice. One thing I should clarify is that the host was nice, responsive and communicating well. I had a goof feeling about this host.

The room is clean, and the property is well-maintained. The room pictures matched the actual room. The check-in & check-out process was smooth, and the host provided clear instructions. (Dear *******, please PAY ATTENTION to this.) However, the one thing I'm concerned about is when the host messaged me after we checked out, asking for my email address and the last 4 digits of my credit card without stating the purpose, which had never happened before. I found it very alarming and shady, and the host should have all the information they need from the platform. Please investigate this incident. The conversation history is in the app.

The room was clean but the rest of the house was a bit of a mess. The fridge had food left in it and the garbage was foul smelling. There was dust on the fixtures, hair on the bathroom walls and the TV appears to be broken. The house had a general feeling of emptiness and being unloved. I only stayed one night of my stay and got a hotel the next morning.

Great stay super affordable. The staff was very helpful but my only complaint is the locks. We got back late and had trouble getting in because we were given the wrong code number .

The room was very nice, clean, well appointed as described. What I found challenging was I did not receive actual info on how I was to access the property, which was said to have no on site staff, until 4 hours before my check-in time which I found very nerve-wracking. Because I had only had very impersonal boilerplate responses from host in spite of my asking a specific question, I did wonder if the booking was going to turn out to be a scam. BUT it turned out to be fine. My main problem was how to use the keypad on front door lock. Because host is familiar with that kind of keypad screen they do not realise that some never encountered one like it and do not understand how to use it. The keypad face was entirely black and smooth and it took some trial and error to learn how to use it. We did check in during the daylight after several attempts BUT when we returned after dark the black keypad proved extremely difficult to use. We failed many times, were concerned we would not succeed and did not know if any staff were on site. Better instructions: In order to light up the blank black screen you must FIRST touch the screen anywhere and THEN touch the four numbers for the code. I kept tying to guess where the position of the first code number would be on the invisible blank black screen so code entries were always wrong. It took us 10 minutes to finally succeed. A keypad with raised physical number buttons, or a lit up face would be much better.

I loved staying at this property. It is clean, safe and very close to beaches, parks the University . I recommend it and if traveling again will book it if a room is available

The pics do not do justice to the room. It is a gorgeous property. We were so happy with the large living space and the bathroom with soaker tub. Made up for the terrible weather.
