Orchid House near Vancouver YVR Airport

The host, Kelly, lives on site. We had the ground floor bedroom, with private bath and kitchen. Slippers are provided, but we brought our own. The mattress was very comfortable. The shower had plenty of hot water. The toilet is lower than we are used to. There is free Wi-Fi. The other 2 guest rooms are upstairs. The 2nd floor common area for all guests is huge. Total cost of washing and drying one load is $8. A $35 taxi ride brought us to Orchid House. Then we used the very good and frequent 406 bus to the Skytrain. Given enough time a Day Pass could be ordered by mail. We bought ours at a drug store. With the Day Pass seniors pay $9.05 per day for unlimited transit use. Buses and trains can be crowded. Online pass top ups are easy. The machines at the train station are confusing. If you load your card at a machine remember to tap once more after you have successfully paid. Take the 406 bus to Steveston.

The house is clean and tidy, and the rate is okay.

To many rules around the house, the ensuite has a timer for the light, no hair dryer, no creamer or milk for coffee. The location is around 8-10 min walk to the bus stop.

The host was exceptionally nice

No burner/stove

Very comfortable bed, room temperature is perfect.

Share kitchen.

Friendly greeting, clean and comfortable. Good for one night but I would have been frustrated if the was a multi day stay. Not quite as advertised.

It was rather expensive for the services received. No breakfast included in the high cost charged from my account above CAD158
