Unfortunately our stay at the house wasn't as good as we tought it was going to be.
When we got to the house it was a complete mess, the kitchen and fridge were very dirty and the TV room was dirty and cloth everywhere. The room was clean and the bathroom was ok, some dirt in the floor. If you stay at a place that charges 45usd you will expect a completely clean place.
Communication in the beginning was great but when we got to the house we didn't have towels so we write to Mackie and never got an answer back. It was very disappointing that we were not getting a response, since we knew the host was not going to be arround. We finally got one towel and a few hand towels at the end of the night that one of his roommates gave us,he was very nice and help us with some info about the house and Vancouver.
We ended up not worrying about those issues and decided to enjoy Vancouver, we met Mackies month last day who was very nice and felt us feel very welcome.
The pets are very cool and the house doesn't smell like animals at all.
