Sam and Lily are congenial hosts. Their domain is clean and elegant, yet comfortable. I liked being in a residential neighborhood. Nespresso machine and fruit was a plus. I felt like I had the bathroom and shower to myself, though shared.

Quiet and conveniently located near the airport. My room was in the basement but was bright and airy. I shared a bathroom with one other rented room. There was a common area with a coffee station and kitchenette for both rooms, and a nice patio with lounge chairs outside.

Misrepresented! Did not match pictures, was put in a basement room with no windows, shared bathroom. Did not send me my code for the door until 11:37p sat outside trying to figure it out at night. Shower covered in black mold. Carpet was dirty and dead spider on bed and live spiders in basement. Left and checked into a hotel.

Genuinely shocked at how many good reviews this place has (which is why I booked in the first place). The property has a shared bathroom that was COVERED in black mold. Another guest who was sharing the space with me had checked out while I was there so I thought they would've cleaned the shower and bathroom between guests, but they did not. Also 2 of the 3 showers I had were completely ice cold, surrounded by mold. As someone with respiratory issues this was very worrisome to be around especially as there is only 1 shared shower. Not a pleasant experience at all. The room was spacious, but didn't have as luxe of a feel as the photos would suggest. Overall I would not recommend staying here, especially since it was $750 for 3 nights. I reached out to see if a partial refund could be given due to the unsanitary conditions but they refused. The hosts should be ashamed charging that much for a moldy bathroom shared between multiple guests. Will be reporting to BC Health authority.

Location easy to find and park at. Room was quite large, but...Room did not have curtains to block light at night. Room (5) was near the front door so any accesses to the building, at any time of the night, were quite loud and disruptive. No real orientation provided upon arrival.

Clean and spacious room, good communication from the host and easy checkin. However, I could not sleep at all due to street noise and room's glass door (hallway noise and no way to block light from hallway). Besides, the listing does not mention that bathroom is shared, I would not have booked if I knew that. Would not stay again.

Answered any questions I had and accommodated a request for an early check-in due to an earlier arrival time. Very clean and had a lovely level of toiletries available. I would stay here again for a quick solo, couple, or friend trip.

I feel that Expedia misrepresented this property. It is a house in a residential area of Vancouver. It is more like a Bed and Breakfast without the Breakfast. But a person does have access to one's room throughout the day. However, it is just a bedroom in the basement; the bathroom and a common area are shared. Not what I was expecting. Allergy warning: there is a cute, fluffy, "grumpy" cat that wanders the house. Good street parking. There is a Sushi Bar, A&W, and Tim Horton's within a block of the house.
