I stayed here for two weeks in the summer while visiting UBC for a conference. The unit is indeed new and the pictures give an accurate impression of it, and it was very clean when I arrived. The bedroom and bathroom are partially underground, which was a plus as it helped keep those rooms reasonably cool during what passes in Vancouver for a heat wave (the unit has no air conditioning). The adjoining backyard is shared by several houses and was actively used by both children (trampoline, basketball hoop) and adults (a party of some sort); the resulting noise didn't bother me much personally, but those sensitive to such thing should keep this in mind, especially during the summer when the windows are best kept open for cooling. The WiFi is provided from the main house and was frustratingly flakey; smaller devices (phones, tablets) had particular trouble, especially in the bedroom.
