There were many good things about staying in Cyrus’ downtown Vancouver condo.
- Great location
- Great check in
- Great communication from the host
- Bunch of Bubly in the fridge 👌🏻
All of these were very appreciated
Feedback
- The current mattress has very little support and was pretty uncomfortable. When I mentioned it to the host they replied “different people have different tastes”. I found this answer was an attempt to dodge admitting to a real problem.
Hotels and B&Bs have to deal with people with different mattress tastes. Their solution is to use a quality mattresses with support and pillow tops for comfort. The mattress at Cyrus’ condo had terrible support and felt ultra cheap. Frankly it was less than motel quality. Mattresses are one of the most important parts of a great stay. Hopefully Cyrus will replace with a quality mattress and mention the new quality mattress in the description for future guests.
I also have to report the following:
- When I arrived I found the towel rack broken and coming off the wall in the bathroom.
- Unfortunately they provided mildew smelling towels
- It smells like chemical air freshener everywhere in the condo 🤢
- The condo has 3 solid blinds to block the sunlight. Behind that some other kind of large light blocker blind. My date gently tried to open the blinds at night to see the view. The blinds seemed not to budge so we left it. In the middle of the night the large blind fell down from the ceiling :/ You should be able to try opening the blinds without them falling down.
Because of these issues the place feels cheap. It feels like 2-3 stars when it could be a solid 5 stars.
Cyrus personally seems to have what it takes to be a really good host. His response time was really good too. At the price being charged there should be no problem leveling up in these areas. Look in the description to see if these issues have been resolved.
I’ve tried to be fair and kind in this review and wish Cyrus all the best!
