Cozy Home in Vancouver

It was okay for the night. There were 3 other guests on the first floor and four on the second floor. Bathroom and kitchen are shared. It was quiet. Sleep was good.

I’m not one to come on and make a review that could damage image, but when I showed up to the place, I was not impressed. The address I was given was incorrect, and I had to move into a different suite. There were also two travellers that came in around the same time as me and said that they had booked the same space as me. I think because I got there first they were the ones that had to switch the address. (Again) The lady ended up transporting them in an uber to another hotel that was available? Looking at previous reviews, seems like it has happened before. Also shared bathroom. I’m quite on top of whether or not a place has a private bathroom. it said it did but that was not the case when I arrived. Spiders in the house. No blackout curtains (or even curtains that really even covered the window in my room - I had to change in the bathroom) or air conditioning so it’s extremely hot in the summer. Place was a bit messy and unclean. It was ok I guess for three days, but I will not be back. It was hard to get a hold of The host/manager I tried talking to her to ask her some questions when I checked in, but she straight up just walked away from me. I would also try to message her and she would never respond back. I think that if you’re OK with living in somebody’s home that isn’t the tidiest/sharing a bathroom, then it’s not the worst option for a day. But I think even just to pay $100-$200 more would be better options and worth it. Met other lovely travellers though!

The day I was to arrive, the hotel messaged me...we are overbooked, and are moving you to another property. 5 miles from where I desired to be. Upon arrival, I learned 2 other guests were also displaced. The manager didn't speak English. Required all communication via txt. She hung up on me. Shared bathroom. Kitchen area a total disaster. No cups , or coffee/tea service. Never did see any staff. Sink full of dishes. I'm not sure the back door was ever closed/locked overnight. Didn't feel very safe. I didn't get what I paid for. The property was a house with each room converted into a basic room.

Bit of communication issues and the place itself could have been cleaner but beds were clean and manager was nice, for the price not bad
