This is a small but very cozy modern guest house. The beds vary in firmness (medium to firm), so if you have a group of four you hopefully have a range of bed preferences which will be completely satisfied. There’s an excellent variety of pillows, which I found was a subtle but very welcome touch. It’s never fun to arrive at a hotel or stay where there’s only one type of pillow and it’s not at all comfortable. Here, you can pick your favorite.
No air conditioning, but multiple vortex fans are provided which was great for the August heat, and even without AC the rooms stay reasonably cool. The windows all have tilt and turn doors (look them up if you've never seen these before) which are really convenient and help keep the rooms nice and aired out.
The instructions which were sent through Airbnb were evidently automated, but very helpful and clearly written. One of the host’s associates ended up communicating over chat and was very responsive and helpful. House rules are also located on the fridge, along with the password for the excellent wifi. When we arrived, the garbage bags had run out and after letting the host know, they delivered a new box that evening.
Other highlights: The shower is especially luxurious. The private outdoor seating area is awesome for a summer evening. The provided soaps and toiletries were high quality, but if you’re particular you may want to bring your own. Spares of everything were abundantly available in the various cabinets. Plenty of towels, toiletry supplies, dishwashing tabs, etc. The kitchen is also very well stocked with dishes, utensils, and cookware and the appliances were clean and modern.
Lastly the neighborhood felt safe and quiet and there was plenty of free street parking available. This area of Vancouver seems much less prone to car theft (although I still wouldn't recommend leaving anything in your car just in case). It's also conveniently located near plenty of restaurants and local parks, and the beach isn't too far of a drive either. 5/5
