Guest Reviews

• Wei Yu (10/5): 舒服 干净 房东也特别靠谱 -
• Guy (9/5): Comfortable place for a couple or a small family. Great distant views. - Modern, clean, well located for access to UBC, great views; host very responsive to requests e.g. for extra hangers. Nothing really; would be great if they could make available 2 sets of keys/ fobs.
• María (9/5): Muy confortable. - Excelente ubicación en un precioso barrio de la ciudad Recomendaría al anfitrión que dejara algunos pequeños elementos para la llegaspda como café, té etc
• yen (9/5): Pleasant stay in a modern, clean apartment - The views from the apartment. Apartment was very modern and clean Could have more mats in the bathroom. The pillows are too hard. Folded a bedsheet and used it as a pillow instead. The bedrooms were a little small
• Quynh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Quan (8/5): Very good -
• Jeannine (10/5): Lovely apartment with spectacular ocean view in serene surrounding - Beautiful location Nothing really
• Latif (9/5): Superb -
• Paula (1/5): Terrible - Nothing. Please provide a 100% refund. No staff showed up to check me in when I asked, I had to find another place to stay. The reservation check in was between 3 and 9, I gave 30 mins notice, and I waited for and extra 45 mins Your staff texted me she couldn't make it until 5. That is unacceptable, my reservation did not say I need to negotiate my check in time.
• Jacob (8/5): Very good - Great location, nice apartment layout. Has parking. Very secure. The suite could have a more complete kitchen set -- there were barely enough dishes and cutlery available.
• Li (10/5): very clean and convenient, located right inside of UBC campus. Great view and environment. -
• Nadezda (8/5): Very good -
• Anupam (8/5): Comfortable stay - Location was ok, walking distance to many restaurants and facilities.Bus stop was nearby plus uber service was available within short waiting time Stay was done up very nicely.It was comfortable stay
• Gideon (10/5): It was super amazing - So clean and classy There is nothing to say
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - Need to change AC filter. Very dirty.
• Caroline (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vivek (8/5): Great apartment in a great location for UBC access. - Beautiful property, amazing views, close to UBC No coffee, unsure about licensing status
• Kyung (7/5): Good - Spacious. Excellent location and view from the top. Cleaning was not properly done. Found hair strings on bedding at the first day. Hope they focus more on details.
• Yust-center (9/5): Superb - Absolutely loved the view! Also, the neighborhood has plenty of shops and restaurants. The whole area has walking paths everywhere. The building and surroundings felt very safe and secure. Note that the beds are firm. I appreciated it, but my daughter definitely missed her softer mattress at home. Overall, we had a great stay! Fun mother/daughter weekend :) The only thing that I found was that the dish cloth was dirty. Everything else was neat and clean.
• Bikram (8/5): Well maintained stylish apartment - Modern and stylish apartment with excellent views Because it's an AirBnB the whole check in and check out process was hard
• Ezzat (7/5): Bright and clean and good location, but needs more amenities. - The condo was large and bright with a view of the ocean off in the distance. The location was good and close to all the shops in Westbrook Village. The amenities were very scarce. There were no hangers in the closet, no face cloths, very few dishes. Two of the large blinds were broken. When they arrived, there was three bags of garbage underneath the sink. If there was more care and attention to the small things, the rating would’ve been higher. In addition, it was not explained to us that we would need to park our car on the street and return to put the key in the condo. Otherwise, we would’ve been trapped in the underground parking upon departure
• Dumindra (10/5): Exceptional - The host is very responsive Nothing really
• Martyn (9/5): Superb - Nice bright apartment with a lovely view and generous sized balcony. Building is new so everything worked, no problems with TV, Wi-Fi, appliances, etc. Was met with key at agreed-to time and was able to park underground.
• Caminoguy69 (10/5): Great place to stay if visiting beautiful British Columbia. - Very clean property and surrounding area in UBC. Close to eateries and stores. Would stay again no questions asked. What we didn't like was that we couldn't stay longer. We would have loved to stay our entire visit to vancouver here.
• Colin (8/5): Very good - View, space, location
• Julie (7/5): Good - The things that I and my colleagues liked were the location and the ease of accessibility to UBC. The interior was beautiful, stylish, comfortable and spacious including two beds, two baths plus a couch that pulls out in to a bed. The area around the condo was stunning with both shops and nature areas and trails. The view overlooking the ocean was exceptional. I enjoyed the stay but for the price, which included a $100 cleaning fee on top of the condo price, I would've expected a few things to be available. There were no beverages available such as coffee, coffee filters or tea. There is a beautiful kitchen but there was no salt, pepper or drinking glasses, only wine glasses and mugs. The dishwasher was moldy. We booked the stay for a conference and the wind rattled an exterior glass panel and woke up my colleagues in the night. The temperature was set very high and it took some time to figure out how to reset it. There were some black hairs in the bathroom and the sheets in the linen closet were damp. These are things I wouldn't expect to see at this price point.
• Nikola (10/5): Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Wonderful views. -
• Kayleigh (5/5): Truly questionable experience - We stayed here as I needed to be close to UBC Hospital for major surgery. The location was good for this purpose. We waited almost an hour over the set meeting time for the person to arrive with the key for the unit. Upon arrival, the host did not speak a word of English and was unable to communicate with us. The fob for the unit was broken and not in working condition, and we actually became locked in the parking garage unable to get out for an important pre operative appointment I had booked for surgery. Once finally getting up to the unit and trying to get settled in, we noticed all the windows were open. Being 15 floors up, renting out to a family with small children, we found this odd. It didn’t seem like the unit was ready to go, and the first things our young son found while taking a look around were a used condom and wrapper, and vaping liquid. We were absolutely mortified. Because we had booked this for an extremely important surgical procedure that I had waited years for; we took it upon ourselves to replace the battery in the key fob and fix it, so as to not get locked in anywhere. However, then we got stuck in the elevator, at which time Richmond elevator was contacted. It takes 25 minutes to get in and out of this building, so that alone isn’t worth the time or money. It doesn’t seem like short term rentals are allowed in this building, so people don’t seem overly kind or accommodating, we could barely find someone to help get us out of the parkade when the clicker wouldn’t work. It was way too much money to spend for this type of experience.
• Gregory (9/5): Superb -
• Blake (10/5): I needed a place at ubc for a few days due to work I was doing there and found this space which provided me a great spac - Beautiful and comfortable space near ubc. Wonderful views. Private.
