Based on our recent stay, we feel confused by the high ratings this property has on Airbnb. The unit is basically adequate for our family but not what I would expect in the Kitsilano area and at this price point. It felt a bit rundown and dingy. It was as if someone had just checked out 10 mins before we checked in.
The unit was clean-ish. Floors and counters were clear. However, my son accidentally pushed some of his toys under the media unit, and it was pretty disgusting with dirt and hair and a whole wack of previous guests junk left underneath. Same for the bedrooms. Bunkbed had broken slats and loose rails, was gross underneath and there was some random clothing and other items left in the closet by previous guests (?)
The kitchen was stocked with some basics like peanut butter and salt/pepper but also a whole variety of half used and discarded items we can only assume were left by previous guests (eg. tupperware with 3 dried dates inside, a ziplock baggie of random coffee grounds, half eaten tub of ice cream). The bathroom was the same, stocked with some decent shampoo and conditioner but also a mess of junk left in the cabinet (crumpled pouch of wipes, partly used travel sized toiletries, and a filthy box with some bandaids).
There were also some unusual things missing from the unit (eg no Kleenex, no lids on any garbage cans - problematic if you have young kids in diapers) and despite it being listed in the ad, there were no beach towels / toys. There were some books and puzzles for kids available which was appreciated but almost all were missing pieces.
Finally, the unit was quite noisy. We understood from the listing that there would be some kid noise until 7 or 8 pm however, on the night of our arrival the owners had a party upstairs. There was tons of banging and furniture being scraped along the floor until well past midnight. It was not the kind welcome we were expecting.
Overall the property was basic and adequate but rundown / dingy and not what we would expect to see in this neighborhood and certainly not at this price point. We would not stay here again.
