Guest Reviews

• 李 (7/5): - Room was comfortable with lovely window views. Clean bathroom. Sound proof of the room was poor, I was constantly awaken by other tenants at night—you can hear them talk/play videos/close doors clearly. Kitchen utilities can be cleaner.
• Tina (9/5): -
• Natsibullina (10/5): stay. A great budget-friendly home base with everything you need for exploring Vancouver - perfect for solo travelers lo - The location was perfect, close to downtown Vancouver which made getting around really easy. The place was clean, quiet, and had everything I needed for my solo trip. Great value for the price! Nothing major, it's a comfortable, practical space, that's exactly what I was looking for.
• CHRISTINA (8/5): Comfortable but the walls are extremely thin and the hosts don't want you talking over a whisper - Location is great, bed was very comfortable At the main entrance with the host taking payment, basic chatting/conversation about room number, door code etc and a little lady (assuming wife of host, as he mentioned he lives in the suite on the ground level) popped her head out of a door and said keep your voice down? and not in a friendly way, it was 7:30pm and I was checking in and needed relative information. I thought it was extremely rude and embarrassing. Like we were being chastised for speaking. If they are running a multi room air bnb, they need to be comfortable with people simply living. Hosts open their homes up to make money off people staying in their home then want the home to run like it's a morgue. Irritating...
• Rebecca (10/5): A great and restful space to stop in Vancouver. - Amazing location. Incredible host. Wonderful room. Excellent facilities
• NANAE (10/5): 日本人にオススメ！ - 施設として綺麗に掃除されていました。毎日共有スペースは、ゴミが片付けられていてかなり快適に過ごしました。 複数人で泊まるホステルとは違い、予約毎に部屋があるのでプライベートの時間も確保できてストレスなく過ごせました。 共有スペースでは、他の宿泊者ともお話もできるので、コミュニケーションも取ってみたい人にはぴったりです。 宿泊時期が肌寒い時があったので、エアコンや部屋の温め方が分かれば嬉しかったです。 （問い合わせをするのを忘れてました…）
• Michael Waraney Palit (9/5): - The place is quiet and clean
• Mohamed (10/5): Great stay - It’s a clean, spacious, and comfortable place. Everything you need is there.
• Kim (1/5): na - Website for parking was definetely misleading. Parking on street was 100m long on both side and if you have a car or truck, you have to compete every time.
• Kristina (10/5): Great stay - Super friendly host , very clean , great location
• Louise (10/5): Repeat Customer - Location was ideal. Easy walking distance to Commercial Drive where there are plenty of excellent restaurants. Public transportation is also readily available. Neighbourhood is quiet and serene. No Comment.
• Darren (4/5): -
• Felix (10/5): Owner has good communication skills and ensured everything was in place for my stay -
• shin (10/5): -
• Lynn (10/5): - This is a very well run home, cozy and clean everything you need. The host are very understanding as i had to prolong our stay. Nice neighbourhood as well. I highly recommend.
• Inessa (10/5): Everything was amazing :) - Close to Downtown,good rooms,terrace :)
• Louise (10/5): The location was ideal and the facilities were clean and quiet for me - The space was perfect for me to rest and could easily walk throughout the area for shopping, restaurants, visiting loved ones nearby. Had use of a spacious and clean kitchen. It met my needs completely! Absolutely no complaints. I plan on going again the next time I visit Vancouver.
• Gordon (10/5): Spring time in YVR - Clean and comfortable A bit of a walk from the bus stop.
• Stefan (10/5): -

• Jandi (10/5): 아름다운 주택가의 아늑한 방 - 다운타운에서 너무 멀지도 않고 조용한 주택가에 있어 너무 좋았어요. 숙소로 가는길도 꽃이 피어 너무 예뻤고요. 무엇보다 방이 넓고 예쁜데다 시설이 좋아요. 주방도 쓸 수 있고, 1층에는 세탁기에 건조기까지 있어 정말 편리했어요. 침대도 편안하고 방에 책상이 있어 쾌적하게 작업할 수 있었어요. 도보로 10분 이내 거리에 큰 마트가 있어 장볼 수 있고 라임 타고 조금만 가면 주변에 좋은 카페가 많아요. 밴쿠버의 첫 숙소였는데 호스텔 말고 여기로 예약하기를 정말 잘한거같아요!!
• ERIKA (10/5): - The house and the room are really comfy and the host really kind in replying to my questions and finding solutions to improve my staying. The house is located in a residential area close to restaurants, bookstores and coffee places; and it’s well connected to the city center. Since I’m new to Vancouver, I’m glad I’ve found this place :)
• Laura (7/5): The property was good value and was close to my family. It had some shortcomings but, when contacted via messaging, the - It was close to my sister’s place. The bed was comfortable and it had a nice kitchenette. The room was very hot, even when turning down the heat and opening the windows. Also, the room was like an attic room with a sloped ceiling on each side, making it awkward to move around.
• Vincent Lobo (10/5): Excellent value for money, residential area charming converted home. - Excellent! Was a lovely converted, well kept home into rentals with all the charms. The owners were thoughtful of tenants down to the provided sandals and childs chair. Clean, hardwood floors and stairs, stone looking (acrylic) bath, skylights, 2nd floor patio w. view of mountains, fireplace washer/dryer and coffee options. Housekeeper Eddie inviting, friendly and helpful. Shared bathroom but guests were quite respectable and non issue. In east Vancouver, easy bus but a little further if your itinerary is downtown.
• may (10/5): Is nice to stay there. Staff are very friendly and helpful! - Quiet and clean The bed is too soft..
• TSUNG HAO (10/5): 無可挑剔的住宿經驗，熱心的房東，舒適的環境以及溫暖的態度。 - 這間住宿位在溫哥華東區，但交通一樣方便附近有電動腳踏車、公車可以搭去市區，而且步行距離也有餐廳跟大賣場，非常的方便，重點是價格實惠，房東人非常的好，會在入住前很貼心的做詢問，所有的問題都快速的得到答案，非常熱心的房東，出門在外靠的就是朋友，而住到這個地方讓我感受到家的感覺，非常推薦所有旅客前來，而且最方便的是還有洗烘衣機做使用！ This accommodation is located in East Vancouver, but transportation is still very convenient. There are e-bikes and buses nearby that can take you to downtown, and within walking distance you’ll also find restaurants and large supermarkets, making it extremely convenient. The best part is the affordable price. The host is incredibly kind and thoughtful, checking in with you before your stay and responding quickly to any questions. They are truly warm and helpful. When you’re traveling, what you really rely on is people—and staying here made me feel at home. I highly recommend this place to all travelers. Plus, one of the most convenient features is the availability of a washer and dryer!
• Bats33 (9/5): - Lovely as always! Thank you
• Michael (10/5): -
• Jesse (10/5): -
• phil (5/5): - Location The price. It was displayed as $106 but when I paid it was an extra $80. Not happy.
• Liliana (9/5): -
• Pang Ying (10/5): -
• Fang (7/5): - 房間整潔，廚房需要的設施和設備都齊全。
• Jose Gustavo (10/5): -

• Mykl (5/5): -
• Robert (10/5): great shower comfortable bed. Beautiful grounds. -
• may (10/5): Very enjoyable. - Clean
• David (9/5): Would totally recommend. - Convenient location, and helpful and friendly staff. Table and bed and kitchen facilities were all good.
• Stephane (7/5): -
• CHIH-HAO (7/5): 都不錯喔 - 地點很棒 蓮蓬頭可以改可以移動式的比較方便
• Jakub (7/5): Overall, it’s an affordable way of staying short term in Vancouver. - It was very affordable and still not very far from city centre. The host was kind and helpful. Everything was clean. It’s more of an airbnb than a hotel. The rooms share a kitchen and a bathroom, it’s more like co-living with the host and other guests. Also, the temperature in the room was quite high but hey, don’t expect the host to control the weather 😅
• May (8/5): Very satisfying - Good location Nothing

• Kota (8/5): -
• Chris (8/5): -
• Minh-Anh (7/5): -
• võ (10/5): - the price is affordable for staying in vancouver, Staff and owner are really nice and friendly! It’s the best hotel you can find for individual traveller!!
• Yifan (9/5): Great value for the price! Would recommend. Very cozy and comfortable. - The room is very spacious! It has a nice working space and a big closet; I was able to get so much work done while getting off jet lag. The bed was very comfortable. It really felt like a home and the entire house is very clean and tidy. Kitchen has all kinds of utensils and appliances ready. Shower was nice, clean bathroom with no smell. The onsite laundry room is also a huge plus! It is also quite convenient in terms of location. The number 7 bus stop 7-10 minutes walk away can get you downtown in about half an hour. My only main issue was that some other guests seemed to struggle with flushing the toilet properly. Maybe putting up a sign could help? Another issue was that temperatures in the room could get noticeably colder than the rest of the house on colder days—not a problem at all when sleeping, only when working, but an extra shirt or coat helped.
• may (9/5): Very satisfying - Mostly everything My bed is a bit too soft!😅
• Nguyễn (8/5): -
• Barajas (10/5): - Excellent comfort for one person at an amazing price.
• Josh (9/5): -
• yuya (9/5): -
• Genevieve (10/5): Perfect - can’t fault it - We really like it here - easy to find, very quiet at night, good WiFi, good communication and a kitchen to make coffee.
• Yinghe (10/5): - 空间较好可办公，可做饭，离超市近 挺好
• Yinghe (9/5): - 房间比较干净，厨房可以做饭，周围有大超市 刚开始一周没有暖气，晚上睡觉冻醒好几次，后来有暖气就好多了
• may (9/5): good and enjoyable. - everything is good! the kitchen is very clean and well equip. the smell of the cleaning product too strong.
• Aliyaan (10/5): A spotless, well-equipped stay that truly feels like home in Vancouver! - I had such a great stay here! The property is really well kept, and the housekeeping team does an amazing job keeping the communal areas spotless every day. My room was spacious and super comfortable. The kitchen had everything I needed - toaster, microwave, kettle, and even a coffee maker with coffee provided, which was a nice touch! There’s also a laundry area with both a washing machine and dryer that guests can use for free (a big plus, since a lot of places charge for that). Another thing I loved was the free car parking - it’s hard to find, especially for a place that’s only about a 13-minute drive to downtown Vancouver. The location is great too - just a couple minutes’ walk to the bus stop that takes you straight to the SkyTrain station, making it easy to get around or head to the airport. Overall, it was one of the best stays I’ve had in Vancouver. I’d definitely book here again the next time I’m in the city!
• HYEOK (10/5): - Everything was clean and perfect. The kitchen had shared spices and other essentials, and the room was spacious and quiet.
• karora6 (7/5): -
• Martin (8/5): Very good in every aspect. - Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable. Secure. Quiet.
• Adrianna (10/5): -
• Błachut (10/5): - Nice clean room, beautiful and peaceful neighbourhood, view from the window and balcony.
• Bharat (8/5): The stay was good for the price, location is not far from Downtown. - Good for the price, I liked the bathroom design it is very cozy. Property and location are quiet and nice. It is bit far from nearest bus stops. Room needs to be cleaned more thoroughly. Heating is not at all working in the room.
• Yuko (6/5): It's a good place to stay if you are looking for an economical option. - The place did have a minimum that you need for a night or two. I think the place can improve the cleanses.
• kim (10/5): - It’s pretty cool! I was really relaxed at this house.
• René (8/5): - Locatie
• david (7/5): -
• Mariia (10/5): I love this place so much. It felt very cozy and warm - Everything was amazing. It's a very cozy, clean WARM guest house.

There is a lovely terrace, where you can have your morning coffee. The house is very clean and thw owners are very nice, polite and friendly. The helped me a lot with my extra request and were very kind to me. THANK YOU! I had an amazing stay at this place. Everything was amazing

• Marvin (8/5): -
• Monica (5/5): Not a warm retreat! - The host was friendly. Plenty of street parking. Bed was comfortable. Neighborhood felt safe. I stayed in one of the lower rooms. I felt really awkward and uncomfortable as a female with the male host sleeping on the couch in the shared kitchen space and near the shared bathroom and exit. Cleanliness of bathroom and shared kitchen areas was not great and had to navigate through piles of garbage and belongings outside to get to my car which appeared to be from a tenant living in the lower suite. One of the upstairs rooms (which also has a shared kitchen) would have been more comfortable. Took around 40 minutes to get downtown using the bus or the bus/sky train. No heat source in bed room so not a “warm retreat”!
• Von Unruh (9/5): - Balkony and parking spots
• Von Unruh (8/5): - Balcony and parking spots, bus connection to city center
• Henry (8/5): -
• saheed (7/5): -
• Albert (9/5): - The location suited me as the bus stop was near by. This is the second time I have stayed here & would do so again if in Vancouver
• Eliane (9/5): Nice cheap accommodation - Small but nice room, kitchen had everything I needed (including oil, salt, coffee,...), and the washing machine/dryer can be used for free. The housekeeper was really friendly. Housekeeper slept on the couch in the apartment - a bit weird (but not too uncomfortable).
• Bats33 (10/5): -
• CELINE6932 (8/5): -
• Corazon (9/5): -
• Anna (9/5): nice - very nice house, nice landlord, good facility, they helped to pick me and my family from airport .
• Nouha (10/5): - Parfait , il y'a tout , c'est ce qu'on demande
• Bats33 (10/5): -
• Sanderson (9/5): -
• Tizian (8/5): Exactly what it promised. Recommended for an uncomplicated stay to visit the city - Bed was comfortable (even with 2 grown men), room and bathroom very clean. Host was reacting fast to requests and messages. Location was good and peaceful, with uber very easy to go to downtown.
• Giulia (10/5): -
• Lee (10/5): -
• Olha (9/5): - Сподобалось все, окрім чистоти туалету та кімнати (We liked everything except the cleanliness of the toilet and room.) Чистота (the cleanliness of the toilet and room)
• Julia (4/5): Very Disappointing - The kitchen had a freezer and a microwave. It was clean. WiFi worked. The place I was moved to did have a good bus down town but it took 45 minutes. I arrived at the location to be told I was in the wrong place. They had moved the location while I was in the air, flying in. They did move me to another place but I had to push for them to arrange the transport. It was also much further out, and I had chosen the place to be nearer the centre. No-one spoke English. There was no-one to provide any assistance at all - thank goodness for Google to find out about shops and restaurants. The facilities worked but were very shabby and tired.eg The blind rail fell down.
• Rianne (4/5): Not what we expected - This was not a very good experience. Upon arrival, after traveling for 20hours, we received the message that the waterpipes burst and we were relocated to another location from the same owner (Llt Fraser HomeAway). This was not so nice and in a completely different area of Vancouver. Since all communication was via Booking messages, I felt scammed (although it might have been legitimate). The Llt Fraser HomeAway was outdated, not so clean and the room was quite small. It smelled bad.
• YUTRIZ (7/5): - The house and the room are very nice. And the owners were helpful. Problems with the infrastructure
• Albert (9/5): - It was very convenient with bus stops across the road, nice and quiet, good size room. No TV.
