The air was filled with a foul odour reminiscent of rotten cabbages, which was quite unpleasant and overwhelming. This unpleasant smell seemed to permeate the entire room, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. Additionally, the area underneath the bed was in a state of disarray, with dirt and dust accumulated over time, creating an unsightly and unhygienic environment. The combination of these two issues made the space feel unwelcoming and in need of immediate cleaning and attention.

It was at a good location, in a quiet area. Additionally, the property boasts excellent natural lighting throughout the day, spacious rooms with modern fittings, and a beautifully landscaped garden perfect for relaxing. The neighbourhood is friendly and safe, with easy access to public transportation, local shops, and recreational parks. The property also features ample parking space and energy-efficient appliances, adding to its overall appeal.

The whole place needs a deep clean. The place presents well superficially but upon further looking it's not all that clean IMO. The top of door frames, bathroom fan and baseboards had a lot of dirt and dust. The kitchen counters tops felt dirty and over the stove fan was dirty. There is no parking nearby. There is major housing apartment construction nearby. For some reason the front yard is cordoned off with lumber and construction tape...looks unsightly.

The location to the train was great only 3 blocks away. The linens were clean and the bathroom was somewhat clean. The bed was comfortable. The use of the fridge was great.

The room was hot, the beds were hard, the facilities were there, but not well signed (there were no labels on cupboards and no instructions, except for the garbage). There was a “you are intruding” atmosphere, it wasn’t welcoming at all.

The room was spacious

They have obviously done renovations on the place so it would be nice for the hosts to update the images to accurately reflect the layout and rooms. The kitchen from a distance looks fine but it was a mess to use, no oven or grill, all the cooking equipment needs to be updated, I have had better kitchens in hostels. There was also massive works being done on a building a few houses down, it was extremely loud from very early in the morning and the street was blocked so getting my luggage to and from the building was difficult. This work was not mentioned at any point despite the constant barrage of messages I received. I don't think luxurious is the correct word to describe this stay.

Despite some of the recent reviews the room, private bathroom, sheets and towels were all clean for my stay. Each room has its own key and the code for the front door is easy enough to use. The fridge was large and really new with sections pre labelled for each room.

Nothing overly concerning, but may be helpful for future guests. - Mattress was firm, may impact some people. - Inability to store luggage, which is a shame given how big the house was with free space. - My room was noisey due to the ?heating/gas/electrical box in the cupboard. - No biggie but a heads up about the construction work would’ve been helpful, given it impacted access to the train station and one of the walkway paths was closed.

Mostly clean, however kept finding dark hair (? From previous guest). Shoes are requested to be removed on entering the home. Safe location. Secure keypad access to the home. Own key to bedroom door. Easy 10ish min walk to train station, which goes directly to the city centre, however still a bit of a journey. I didn’t use the kitchen facilities (apart from microwave) but appeared to have most basic items. There was coffee available. Has good and quick laundry facilities with laundry products.

Too far from any good restaurants (45 minute walk). While the bed was comfortable the sheets couldn’t be tucked in and kept slipping off the bed. The room was very small.

Located in a quiet street in a suburban area. The place was very clean

Great location, 4min from Skytrain. Clean rooms and common areas. High ceilings, well equipped kitchen, nice furniture, free laundry, easy access to the house and room. Very good option for Vancouver.

Parking was a bit problematic, and the staff hasn’t mentioned where to leave our footwear .

The property was clean and was in good neighbourhood.

Stayed in August 2024

Contrary to the location description in the listing, there is only one restaurant nearby and no shops (the nearby Oakridge shopping mall which shows up on Google Maps is closed for redevelopment.) There is no direct contact with the owner and the notices posted around the property are somewhat passive-aggressive and unclear.

The location is convenient for the Canada Line (fast transit to airport and downtown). The room and bed are spacious and comfortable. The check in and check out times are quite generous. The kitchen is well-equipped.

The parking situation was terrible—no spots near the house, and we had to park six blocks away. To make it worse, it rained during our stay, which made everything more inconvenient.

The room was nice, and the staff was friendly.

Someone in the house started making noise at 6 in the morning. Going down and up the steps of the stairs with loud steps and making noise in the kitchen too. I traveled all day yesterday and I was really tired, I would have preferred to rest a little more.

The house is beautiful and has many nice places. Everything clean. The wifi is very good. The room is very spacious and has a large window with a very nice view. In the spectacular king bed, all cotton!!!

Wasn't a huge fan of standing outside the front door for 3 hours waiting for someone to give me proper door code. Arrived at midnight but want able to get into bedroom or house until almost 4am and only because I took a shot guessing a few number combos and got it right by luck. Also the used condom wrapped inside a ball of toilet paper and the condom packaging in the bed was not very welcoming.

The price was more right then Bob Barker.

Not really clean. Not luxury - the communal rooms look impressive but our twin room was a cupboard. Mattresses quite soft Crockery didn’t match - luxury?

Close (10min) walk to railway station. Comfortable communal lounge with big TV Washing machine was big

Parking is a nightmare throughout Vancouver. The bed is old and bowed in the middle. Not comfortable. No A/C....

It was clean.

However, the location is not the city center. They didn't provide the correct location to find the house. You have to check email in the booking all the time. If you come in late you might have a problem to find the place you have to call them to give you instruction. I would suggest if you are first time to vancouver. You better choose hotel instead of the people's house for your own safety.

This is a very Nice home for a family.

Stayed in August 2024

Signs to show where things were. We could not find cutlery until the 2nd night. It was in the 2nd kitchen, which had everything needed.

It was comfortable and quiet. No TV which was good. The bed was very comfortable. A bit of a walk from shopping, however there is a Mall under construction a few blocks away. Very close to the train line, so easy transport.

Stayed in June 2024

Small room, small beds not enough places for luggage or to hang things in bathroom. Host did not meet us like in all other properties we stayed in across Canada and didn’t even give a name, just ‘host’ - very impersonal. No parking near to house.

Nice kitchen but nothing labelled so need to search for everything.

Stayed in June 2024

We could hear everyone's footsteps and conversations throughout the building. Some of those conversations were very loud and went on at 11 at night. Parking was a 10 minute walk away from the facility.

Clean rooms

Stayed in June 2024

EXTREMELY NOISY!!! In the walk in wardrobe there is a super noisy machine which sounded like somebody was drilling the wall on and off all night long!!! Not very clean, toilet stained and hair in the bathroom and bathtub.

Comfy room, self check in/out

Noisy ventilation machine in our cobbord. Room 2.

Good location

I was caught off by the subtext in costs The map on booking.com was inaccurate, as it placed the house between Yukon and Alberta Streets, where it was actually adjacent to Cambie Street, and on the opposing side. That was confusing especially as the house numbers aren’t sequential there

I was scouting accommodation, to advise a Yukon institution that is helping patients The house was in a very pleasant and safe neighborhood, and central to hospitals/clinics and the airport, with the nearby train station. I have given my recommendation

Our room was upstairs and we had some bags and that were a challenge to get to the room with them, the stairs were not helping. No hangers in the bathroom and you can't hang any towels or your clothing on. We had someone in the middle of the night knock on the front door of the place so hard and wake us up, probably a guy who didn't have the password key. This is probably an isolated event. The room itself is very clean but the walls and window would use more deep cleaning.

The location is good, it is close to the train station 5-7 minutes walk. If you have bags take the bus. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. The communication with the host was great and the host was responsive. The check in was easy even though i received a different passcode with the welcome message, but when i sent a message to the host they were responsive and gave me the right passcode. Overall we had a good experience, we stayed only for one night since we were traveling abroad and it was fine.
