We stayed at Carla's house for 2 weeks with 5 adults (in the winter) and it gave us plenty of room to sleep, cook, relax and hang out. The house is big! With 3 sofa sitting areas (2 with TVs). Workout space. Full size washer/dryer. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The location can't be beat! Easy walking distance to the beach. Also walkable to shops and restaurants. Close to UBC. Very safe and friendly neighborhood. The view was an added bonus! The off-street parking was always available. WiFi was fast in all areas of the house and very reliable.
The house is a bit older, but everything was working and the house is well-furnished. The beds were comfortable too! The house had been professionally cleaned before we arrived - it was spotlessly clean. I usually don't rent houses that are also people's homes, and I appreciated that Carla had taken the time to remove personal items and clear out refrigerator and cupboard space before we arrived.
Carla responded quickly to my inquiries and was flexible with our arrival and departure times.
I was hesitant to book a place for so long when it didn't have previous reviews. But I am glad I took the chance, it was a great stay!
