Guest Reviews
- Max (10/5): Happy with everything - Very friendly and relaxed. Na
- Madeleine (10/5): -
- Ambre (9/5): - Le personnel est adorable, ils font tout pour qu’on se sente bien. Ils m’ont permis de laisser mes bagages et de rester plus longtemps dans la chambre, ce qui est très appréciable. La maison est agréable, le quartier calme et sympathique. Il y a un bon nombre d’équipements. Le seul point négatif est la propreté dans la salle de bain car le reste est très propre.
- Cesar (10/5): Absolutely Beautiful -
- Lucia (8/5): Except for what I mentioned it was nice - Customer service and friendly owners Shower grout mouldy, garbage can rusty, toilet frame dirty
- Esther (10/5): - Good responsiveness from the owner who was always on site. He greeted me and showed me where to park, and proceeded to provide detailed instructions on where to move my belongings. The grounds were decently maintained.
- Benjamin (1/5): Bad. Don't stay here. - This is the worst booking I have ever stayed in (out of dozens, all around the world). Do NOT stay here.The location of this place was in a lovely neighborhood. This is the only thing I liked about this property. DO NOT STAY HERE. This house is originally a 3 bedroom house, and was presented on booking as a nice calm relaxing place that appeared to be as such, about 2-3 bedrooms per what it looked like online. However, the host rather creatively, cheaply, and dishonestly has put up temporary drywall barriers to invent and create SO MANY new rooms to cram her unsuspecting guests. I walked around the house and counted NINE low quality janky bedrooms that she had made (out of what should be a 3 bedroom house), and my mother and I found ourselves sharing a dirty moldy bathroom with 10 other guests, that I counted. What in the world? Seriously. We were greeted rudely by the host, and she managed to turn any living space (the kitchen, the living room, the dining room from what would be shared living spaces into uncomfortable, low-quality, and very not up to code rather hostel-like cheap drywall bedrooms. We were crammed in there very dishonestly, and I did not appreciate paying $125 each for a night in these rooms for the equivalent of what I would expect in a $15-$20 hostel. This whole place is incredibly deceiving and dishonest, and should be removed from booking.

Perfect if your there only to sleep, Definetly needs a updated,more cleaning better bed and decor
- Michael (7/5): A basic room, clean and quiet. - It was clean and quiet. It was in a residential area, not really in close walking distance to restaurants.
- Tony (1/5): Don’t waste your money for dirty, smelly, moldy, uncomfortable worn bedding, moldy bathroom and totally unsanitary. - Nothing Don’t waste your money for dirty, smelly, moldy, uncomfortable bedding, moldy bathroom and totally unsanitary.
The basement part of house that I stayed in for three nights was very dirty and smelly. Like old rancid mop water left in the hallway stunk. I put it outside hope the smell would go away. It did not by the next day because the tile hallway so dirty. You can see the heavy layer of dirt and grime in the tile. The edges of the tile floor edges to the walls looked a little cleaner but the middle path was dark with grim and filthy. They said they only washed with water and swifter. Grout and crevices are full of dirt. After walking through there to my room. I wash the dirt from my feet. Not putting the feet in the bed. The bedding looks very worn. The pillows were so worn out.
Kitchen and bathroom was not sanitary by any means. Please wash the house supplied kitchen utensils and plates. Sinks are gross as the countertops. No paper towels supplied. The community towels by in the kitchen or bathroom where never changed out. Looked like it's been a long while since they were cleaned.
Bathroom is gross. Mold in the tub shower area. Exhaust fan makes noise but doesn't do any exhaustion.
Dirty refrigerator inside.
- Gurshaan (8/5): Very good -
- Demi (1/5): Serious health hazard to stay do not come. - The location is close by a supermarket and you can literally walk to it just takes a few minutes.
The location is in a nice neighborhood. It was extremely dirty. When I arrived the sink was full of dishes. Before cleaning it through because the sink and drying rack were both disgusting to I cleaned it myself before doing all the dishes.
There is dust in the bathroom. And black mold wich is a serious health hazard.
The tiles of the floor are almost just black even though it's supposed to be white.
As soon as you step out you bedroom you can smell the mold wich is also a health hazard.
Both the microwave and cooking place are disgusting.
I texted the owner the first day I arrived I stayed here for five days by the way. I said I would appreciate it if some of the things could be cleaned but they never did it's very disappointing.
The money you have to pay for it is not worth it.
- Charlton (1/5): Gross. - Location was fine The place was extremely bad. There was an awful smell of mold. The bathroom was disgusting - we didn't even want to take our shoes off it was so gross. There are multiple rooms being rented on the property like a hostel. We had booked a room but the host told us once we got there that the room was only meant for 1 person and it was $50 per person but we had already paid $132 and she still charged us an additional $50. We couldn't wait to get out of there. Would recommend staying far away from this property.
- Karen (7/5): Good -
- Валентин (5/5): Passable -
- Malte (8/5): Very good -
- Jason (9/5): Superb - Great hosts, feels like staying at a family's house! Quiet neighborhood, great for rest. Street parking available but limited.
- Joel (7/5): Nothing Fancy, but clean, safe, quiet and close to where you want to be! - Location close to everything!
Clean and quiet. Experiencing a real cold snap...-6 degrees Centigrade; so a little cold. But the bed's duvet was nice and warm.
- Pedro (1/5): Horrible - Did not stay in the property. Host was stubborn, wanted to charge extra in cash, did not deliver receipt of payment, washroom smelled like urine, sink and mirror were too dirty. Too dirty to tolerate. Found similar price at a hotel and moved there.
- Aigars (9/5): Superb - Nice place,close to public transport. Gricery stores nearby.
- Karen (7/5): Property as advertised, quiet location, just not to my taste. The neighbourhood is quiet w/ transit. - The host was very responsive and my room was very comfortable. The shared kitchen was fine and the yard is nice. I did understand about sharing a bathroom but I had envisioned sharing with maybe one other person and that was not the case. I am a private person and the house was just a bit too busy for my taste but it would really appeal to others.
- Титова (10/5): Exceptional - Tommy was very helpful and gave elaborate instructions on how to get to the place. The place itself is located in a good proximity to the bus stop which gives access to all parts of the city. The room was clean and comfortable. Thank you!
- Michael (7/5): Good -
- Allison (9/5): Great stay, cosy home very relaxing - Cosy, warm room. Convenience to transit No noise restriction posted. Downstairs people were talking rather loudly at close to 1am. Heavy feet, would be nice to have a quiet hours posted from 11-6 kind of thing. Toilet paper was low and there was barely any hand soap.
- Graham (8/5): Very good -
- Rebecca (8/5): Very good -
- Psc (3/5): If you have low expectations and have no intention of staying in the house other than sleep, hold your nose and take it. - Location Very dirty. Photo of house is not reflective of reality. Kitchen and bathroom filthy. Bedroom had duct tape covering holes. The air smelled bad.
- Stallings (8/5): Very good -
- Rousseau (6/5): Pleasant - Very accommodating staff, even for super late check in. very very basic room, busted bed cover/sheets. Decent price, but the fees make it expensive for what it is.
- Patrick (8/5): Very good - Comfy king bed in an upstairs bedroom. I couldn't control the heat. Was chilly at night.
- David (8/5): Very good - The property was priced appropriately and was quite convenient to a neighborhood not serviced by hotels. The other guests were all very friendly - lots of international folk. Grocery, bank, restaurant, drug store, bus lines, etc., all within a couple blocks walk distance away. I felt welcome, as though I could make myself at home. If you have a bad back or the like, you may be dissatisfied with the mattress. Not bad, but not good either. I slept fine.
- Vivek (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wendy (8/5): Delightful in Dunbar - Lots of white, clean looking decor. Amenities a plus. Wonderful service from Tommy. Delightful format/ sharing like roommates. Super quiet beautiful location with great parking. Plumbing noises were startling when upstairs would flush :o at night. But I figured it was a reasonable trade-off.
- Cường (8/5): Very good - Near downtown. bathroom is not super clean
- Xiaoying (4/5): Disappointing - I don’t know where the good reviews come from but there is nothing positive I want to say about this place. I see dust everywhere. And the bathroom were def not pleasant.
- Margaret (7/5): The location was great for me. The house was full so obviously a popular place. - Overall I was satisfied with price and my room. The upstairs bathroom especially the shower was grubby and the shower covered with mould and did not drain. Standing up to my ankles in water. There needs to be a mirror in the bedroom. See above
- Selig (7/5): Good - It was clean and quiet. If you're looking for something centrally located, this ain't it. As a short-time visitor most of my activities started around the waterfront. It took the better part of 2 hours each day to get there and back by bus and subway or a $40 round trip Uber ride. Granted, Vancouver is crazy expensive so you have to trade convenience for price, but i would not book this again.
- Livia (10/5): Fantastic location, great host, reasonable price - The host was exceptionally friendly and personable, which made for a very comfortable stay. Unlike my previous reservation in Vancouver, where I felt like a burden to the property owner, this experience was entirely different and put me at ease. I would not hesitate to book again. While the overall experience was positive, I did encounter some issues with the bathroom cleanliness. The bathroom was somewhat dirty, and there was no regular cleaning service. I found random hair in the sink and had to wipe down the toilet seat before each use. Despite these concerns, everything else was great.
- Joann (4/5): Disappointing -
- Shishir (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ari (1/5): Cheap. - Clean towels Bathroom was not clean. Shower was full of mildew and did not drain well, and the sink and fixtures had not been cleaned in a long time. My partner's shoes were taken from the shoe racks by another guest and I had to call the manager to get them back.
- Lena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tripp (6/5): Pleasant -
- Paul (2/5): Disappointed. - Character home Clean everything. They used a twin duvet on a queen bed. I didn’t sleep because I let my partner have the duvet
- Carmen (7/5): Good -
- Jonathan (8/5): Good stay but wish it was closer to transit. - A clean and well maintained house with everything that you need. The kitchen is large and have everything that you need. If you don't have a car it is hard to get to and from. There is no coffee shop in walking distance.
- Petra (9/5): Superb -
- Ford (5/5): Passable -
- Dmitry (8/5): Very good - The location is comfortable. You can reach the downtown by bus. I had no problems to find the house and the check in was easy. The room is clean and the amenities were comfortable for my stay of 5 nights.
- Manan (9/5): Superb -
- Keltie (3/5): Dirty place. - location, owners were friendly and always available
the sheets and towels were clean
It was quiet. this place does have a low rental price but with tax and cleaning fee it is not worth it.
You pay $50 cleaning fee but all they do is wash the sheets. give you one hand towel and one body towel.
The dish towel and clothes were dirty. Floors not swept no washed. Kitchen counters not wiped down. Old food from hands left dried on fridge doors, cupboard doors, stove top. Stove control dials. Hair from previous clients on floor in bedroom, bathroom. It looked no dusting had ever, ever taken place.
Myself and the other women staying in the adjoining room bought cleaning wipes to disinfect the suite.
Laundry was in the next door area of rental rooms (all in the same house). This area also had a tiny, tiny kitchen....absolutely filthy!!!! I am sure if a governing body inspected this place it would be shut down. The pictures on the web site are not true to what you actually see when you arrive
- Debbie (7/5): Good - Beautiful neighborhood! Great price! The pillows and bedding could be a little more inviting. The bathroom and door need a fresh coat of paint.
- Tara (8/5): Very good -
- Maughan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robin (8/5): Very good -
- Kevin (5/5): Passable -
- Max (7/5): Good -
- Rubelyn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Polly (6/5): Ease of checkin and out but the property needs a thorough clean and maintenance. - Early check in was provided, leaving my bags in the room. Cleanliness, it needs a good clean. You can pick the house from the street, the one with the dead trees lining the property. My wardrobe was also broken and unusable.
- Koorimannil (10/5): Exceptional - Very good condition
- Ali (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cynthia (10/5): Home away from home. Quiet treed lovely residential area.large lovely bedroom glass sliding closet - Not applicable Laundry machines were tagged out of order
- Anna (9/5): It was fine - It was close to an event I had
Also it was clean enough and quite for sleeping I didn’t know there was a common kitchen until much later, it wasn’t communicated to me
- Kaho (9/5): Overall the owner was kind and replied very quickly to some questions that I asked. Good price for the location it was c - Kitchen and laundry are free and easy to use(detergent are equipped). There were few pan and equipment for cooking(I wish if they had oil and seasoning)
- Charles (4/5): Disappointing -
- Lukasz (9/5): Just Great Stay:))) - Great Stay, fantastic host, good location:)))
Highly recommended!!!
- Pavel (5/5): Passable - The neighborhood was quiet and safe. Easy availability of buses to downtown and other areas of Vancouver. I felt safe in my room, had my own key. Bed was VERY hard. The house could use a renovation. My room (room A) was big but could have benefitted from some repairs and more cleanness. The shower itself was probably new but the shower corner was very dirty and unpleasant.
Also, my food got stolen from the fridge in the kitchen. The owner don't speak English very well, it was hard to solve any problems with them. In fact, we did not solve anything...
- Lukasz (9/5): Just Great Stay:))) - Great value for money, location and stuff fantastic:))) Will definitely recommend!!!
