    I understand that its necessary for safety but every time somebody enters the house there is a loud peeping sound that can easily wake you up. As mentioned in other reviews, there is too much stuff around :).

    The bed was comfy. It was quiet most of the time. The owner seemed nice. The proximity to the skytrain station is the best thing about the place. Real canadian superstore is close as well and there is an asian supermarket by the skytrain station.

    Helen was very good with her communication and was willing to accommodate changes, if there were any after booking the property. Cleanliness was great and she's also thrown in the convenience of purchasing refreshments if you needed any.

    It was clean enough but given the cleaning fee I expected it to be spotless.

    This was my last evening before flying back. Location wise it was perfect.

    Location is excellent: safe neighbourhood with proximity to Skytrain station and stores Netflix is provided The cat is lovely

    Nothing! It all worked out well.

    It was a quick stay - just an overnight with a very early morning check-out (4am) because of a 7am flight. It was a smooth and easy process, and the hosts were so friendly, flexible and accommodating. The house was very close to the Skytrain station - easy access to downtown and the airport. Quiet enough to have a good night's sleep, even though it was still early evening!

    I wanted to watch some tv for I was jetlagged by 15 hours ahead of Vancouver time. I noticed there was Netflix on the tv, but no instructions on how to use the remote. It was the rooms only down fall.

    The location to the airport was great and the room was clean and compy. Appreciated coffee in the room and my own bathroom was a huge bonus.

    Handy for arriving from the airport but could do with a bit of de-cluttering

    The apartment is a little too cluttered and not that clean (I suspect there are too many items to clean prior to every rental - there must have been at least a dozen different shower gels and shampoo!). The apartment was a little dark

    The apartment is very close to the skytrain but still is a quiet location. The condition of the property was okay, nothing more.

    It would have been appreciated to at least have a note welcoming me and letting me know where my room was. I had to go through the whole house to figure out which room was mine. In addition, there was a young male there and no one else in the house. I did feel a bit uncomfortable for us being alone in the house. A woman did come in later to greet me, which allayed my concerns.

    I was not aware that breakfast was included. Coffee was available and chocolate bars, which I would not call breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable.

    A variety of basic cooking facilities with most utensils supplied, coffee maker, some condiments etc, meant we could make a meal and have a decent breakfast etc. Washing machine & dryer. Less than a 10min walk to skybus and shops (supermarket, restaurants, picture theatre, drug store etc) Area felt really safe. Nice sunny back porch to have dinner on the steps.

    Very friendly family home. The Room has a private bathroom only accesible from the room itself. Additionally the room had a desk, wall closet/ small storage room, water boiler and -filter, an AC and a TV with Google Chromecast. They offered me to use a seperate (from their own) Refrigerator. The location was decent due to being an 8 minute walk away from 'Marine Drive' Station.

    Quite small and cluttered for my taste. very hard bed but I slept ok. only has kitchen chairs to sit on. can’t get tv channels but dvd’s were provided.

    It’s a small, self contained place. About a 10 minute walk from marine drive sky train which is only 1 zone change from airport, not far at all. There are stores and restaurants close to the sky train. Good WiFi, has everything I needed for an overnight short stopover. I checked my suitcase at the airport and just traveled light. I would use again if prices competitive. I felt safe both in the neighbour and the accommodation. When you are given entry instructions and photos, look closely at the photo of the door as there are 3 doors in the back with key codes to access and make sure you are trying the right door!
