We so appreciated Kendra’s and Trevor’s home to be available to us on such short notice after we were forced to make a last-minute change of location due to forest fire activity. The home was spacious for our larger group and central to so much in Vancouver.
Overall we enjoyed our stay; however there were a number of small things that if updated or changed would have made our stay much more enjoyable.
- The roof top patio had a beautiful view, and we really enjoyed our time spent up there, but the furniture was not in very good condition and should be replaced.
- Some of the bed linens were looking old and worn and in need of replacement. The mattress in the kid’s library room really needs replacing as it was extremely uncomfortable and really wasn't suitable for sleeping. The rest of the beds were good and provided a decent sleep.
- While the bathrooms were clean and did the job, they lacked enough hand towels, places to hang towels and one of the toilet roll holders was broken, and the main ensuite bathroom lacked a mirror. However, we were quite appreciative of the number of bath towels and face cloths left for us.
- The kitchen was generally well equipped if you aren't planning on extensive cooking. However, our group did a lot of cooking and found there were a few additional items we would have appreciated like a larger spatula and a blender. As well, the dishwasher didn't seem to clean the dishes very well. I might also suggest bringing some of your own kitchen cloths and towels as the ones in the house were quite old and worn.
If you have kids, they’ll love the kid’s library! It is full of books, toys and games, and the room has a crawl-through to the room next door.
I would still recommend staying here if you're in need of a place to stay as most of the issues weren't unlivable, but the Airbnb didn't fully live up to our expectations for a vacation home. A few small updates and replacements could really have made a world of difference here
