Mary's place was good for the price . Its in a great location very close to the skytrain and has lots of amenities around it. However the place needs some work on the cleaning, it was clearly just quickly wiped down and the sheets changed when we arrived not actually given a real clean. I found dirty dishes in the cupboard and a ton of dust and dirty all over the place. It could use a picture or two on the walls to make it a bit more homey. And we weren't aware it is a boarding house with at least 5 or 6 other people staying in the building until we got there. The suite is private but you can hear all the other people moving and coming and going. Overall it was a good deal for the price around Christmas and in Vancouver but not sure I would stay again due to the lack of cleanliness.
