Pros:
-easy check in
-good option for when you need to be in Vancouver for a few months but can’t commit to a year lease
-good kitchen supplies like pots, pans, coffee machine, rice cooker, Etc.
-I never felt unsafe in the house or neighborhood. I had limited communication with the host (mainly because I’m shy) but he seemed very nice.
Cons:
-quite dirty. We had to deep clean it the day we moved in
-very humid. We had issues with condensation accumulating on the wall closest to the outside and getting our things wet
-limited space is taken up by things like an ironing board (good for short term stays, but not long term) and other people’s slippers.
-far from pretty much everything. Closest grocery store is a 15 minute walk and everything else is even farther away.
