House: 5/5. Cute little house with lots of character. A lot of TLC was put into this house to make it the awesome airbnb that it is now. Yellow front door is my favourite. Everything is clean, new and nicely decorated. House has 4 floors, where the second floor has 3 rooms dedicated for airbnb guests. There is a garden in the front and back and tons of trees surrounding. Felt very secluded and peaceful even though it's so close to commercial drive.
Room: 5/5. I stayed in the room that is in the pictures posted, although it seems each room has a different theme. Mine was more of a beach vibe, and another had a western feel. So much thought and care was put into it, I love it! Everything was well kept and clean. Bed was huge and comfy, I would have had a great nights sleep if I wasn't so busy checking out the city all night. Big window overlooking the garden with ledge beside it, which was perfect to sit on and read a book on a rainy day. Big desk, tons of closet space, cute tea set. Each room gets their own key, as well as key to the house. Two suits are relatively the same besides the different themes, third room is bigger and has a cute little balcony out front.
Bathroom: 5/5. Washroom was shared between me and the other suite on the second floor, the third suite had its own private washroom. Clean, tidy, provided hairdryer, shampoo, soap. Loved the skylight overtop of the shower.
Neighbourhood: 5/5. I could have spent my whole trip just staying in that area. It's located in East Vancouver, just off of Commercial Drive, which is a long street with tons of restaurants and shops to choose from. 15 minute walk from the skytrain, but bus stops are ever closer. The residential area was filled with character, every house was unique, huge trees lined the streets, and it was very safe for me. As a girl that was travelling solo I had no issues.
Host: Mackie was the best host I could have asked for. This was my first time using airbnb and he made it the best experience. He was very responsive, helpful, laid back, knowledgeable, wasn't sure what restaurants were good so he recommended some good ones, had some great conversations with him, and he actually toured me around the area on my first day there. Felt like I was staying at a friends place rather than a "host".
Overall, I highly recommend this airbnb for anyone (solo traveller, couple, family) but I hope he doesn't get too busy because I plan on staying with Mackie again soon. I honestly can't point out one issue, it was perfect! Thanks again!
