Not so good...
We were told that our current reservation had a plumbing issue under the sink and was not going to be available. So we were taken to ANOTHER PLACE COMPLETELY that was closer to the action, but a little too close to Hastings Street. We were given the option to look at the place first, but when we arrived we were told to bring our luggage up. We complied and the place looked really nice and clean upon entry. The view was AMAZING!!!
After settling in we noticed that there were no amenities like the place we originally rented. The sofa had a pull out trundle bed, but was very uncomfortable. There was not enough places for 4 adults to sit and watch TV. We had to use an office chair and squeeze 3 on the sofa (more like loveseat). We were told there was coffee, tea and bottled water in the apartment, but that was for the unit we originally rented and not the one we recieved. There were no serving spoons/forks and not enough utensils for cooking. No basic oil, salt, pepper for cooking as well. There was however enough paper towels, toilet paper and laundry soap for an army. Each bathroom was very clean and we were provided two (2) towels per bathroom (not enough when for a girl washing their hair), one hand towel and no washclothes. One bathroom did not have a floor mat for exiting the shower so we used the hand towel, and the other shower was very slippery inside and water sprayed out onto the bathroom floor when exiting. This created it very hard to shower for our parents. We did tell the host and they provided two shower mats the next morning. The beds were comfortable, but there were not enough pillows and no extra blankets. We could have used them too!
You could hear the action on Hastings Street from the unit... People screaming, fire and police noise all night long. You could even make out people calling out each other's name at 2 AM. Not a good place for a good night's sleep at all.
During our stay the building fire alarm went off at 11:30 pm... Time to evacuate 35 floors down. Our parents are elderly with health problems and by the time we made it down to the bottom our mother was in need of medical attention. No fault of the host! Mom could no longer get around and it ruined the rest of our stay in Vancouver.
Double check with AirBnB before you go through a host in Canada... For us it was too late!
