Clean and functional. Had all the necessities for a short stay. In terms of how the space feels, the vibe is much more "basement apartment of someone getting their feet under them" than it is "vacation destination." Rating four stars because there wasn't any explicit miscommunication by the host, but the following elements impacted our experience:
- In order to use the futon we had to rearrange the living-room furniture, and then go hunt for the sheets and bedding that turned out to be in storage in the closet.
- The bathroom has no counter space
- Cooking supplies were minimal or absent (there were no measuring spoons, for instance).
- Had to park three blocks away
- We were shooed out of the apartment almost an hour before the listed checkout time.
- Much smaller than it looks in the pictures (it's skilled photography though, so kudos).
But the location is good (very close to the train station) and it did meet our needs. It was a higher price than what I would expect; but I think that might be a Vancouver thing, for some reason the Airbnb prices in this area are pretty steep. I will say the vintage decor was charming. Ultimately we enjoyed our stay despite some inconveniences.
