After our initial booking canceled on us at the last second, we requested to book Jen’s adorable place in south Vancouver. She accepted the request right away even though it was pretty late.
Convenient location, just a short walk to the Canada Line station. Safe and quiet neighborhood—we even saw neighbor’s kid playing in the front yard one afternoon. There’s plenty of room for parking along the street.
The house looks very new and Japandi-meets-Scandinavian in style. The Airbnb entrance is around the house and down a few steps in the back. The space isn’t very large, but there’s a well-equipped kitchen, wifi, washer/dryer, smart TV… everything you’d want in a cozy Airbnb.
The rooms were spotless and a set of everything (bedding, towels, even slippers) per person was provided—Jen even offered laundry detergent when we mentioned we might need to use the washer.
Jen was a very responsive and accommodating host. Overall, a lovely little place for relaxing after a day of exploring, close to both the downtown Vancouver sights and the Richmond food scene. Probably better suited for travelers than partiers, since the host lives with her family upstairs. I’d definitely try to stay with Jen again if I’m back in the area!
