The room was small but OK. There was only one towel each - no face-cloth. There were significant renovations going on. The room was uncomfortably hot and the thermostat was not in the area we were staying in. Overall, it was OK for the price we paid. The people working there were friendly.

This place was the definition of unwelcoming. The floors were filthy, and the sheets didn’t seem quite clean either. Shows signs of neglect and disrepair - broken door locks and nonfunctioning dishwasher. Piles of refuse covered with tarps in the side yard. Dirty upholstery on the futon in one room. The other room barely had space for a person to turn around. This is the property on your block that all the neighbors complain about. Completely overpriced for such a bare bones place. Water pressure in the shower was good, I’ll give it that. Bathrooms were passably clean - not sparkling but by no means gross.

This is a lovely place in Dunbar Village. It's a grwst location fir exploring the area and xatching public transit into Vancouver. The room and en suite bathroom sizes were good. Overall, clean property, but one of the plugs didn't work and the shower water temperature wod change unexpectedly (it never swung to scakding or freezing, though). The bed was confortable and the curtains definitely closed out any lifht from the street.

The house was nice. Hand towels and Kleenex in the bathroom would have been nice. Also there was a pretty big spider web in the corner of our room.

$165 for a queen bed, shared bathroom and no TV. House looks horrible from outside but better on inside. Over priced Vancouver market is making visiting unaffordable

I don't think this property should be listed at all. The bed sheets were dirty, not enough tower, etc. Disappointing for such a price!

This is a very nice house with rooms to rent, not what I would consider a hotel. It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. You can reach the center city area on the 7 Bus in about 30 min.

Not worth the money

It reminded me of a hostel when I was a young traveller. It was a shared bathroom and stark. Not cozy. The property is run down and the first thing you see are garbage cans in the front yard.

Nous y avons séjourner 2 nuits et je pense que plus longtemps aurait été compliqué. La chambre était en effet petite (une grosse valise prenait tout l'espace restant de la chambre) et humide (donc ne sentait pas bon le frais/ le propre) . Nous avions une salle de bain privatisée, ce qui est un plus. Il y a des règles : ne pas faire de bruit avant 8am, ne pas utilisé la cuisine après 12pm... Notre chambre était mal insonorisée (que ce soit pour les bruits extérieurs ou pour les bruits de pas intérieurs). Nous avions une clé pour fermer la chambre et la maison est sécurisée via PIN. Il est possible de se garer dans la rue sans devoir payer quoi que ce soit. Il y a un arrêt de bus juste à côté de la maison qui peut emmener à Vancouver dans un sens, et à l'aéroport dans l'autre (plusieurs lignes à prendre). Il y a également un supermarché "Save on Foods" juste derrière, ce qui est pratique. Ainsi qu'une station essence.
