Samantha & Jason's basement apartment was a fine place to stay while in Vancouver for a few days. The hosts were lovely and we spoke to a few neighbors who were all very kind as well. The place was very clean, access was easy and the hosts provided most of the necessities we would need during our stay. Things to note: wifi worked intermittently for us most of the time but once we talked to Samantha about it it seemed to be a quick fix so if you have a problem just try messaging her (she was always very prompt to respond). The neighborhood was quite busy and finding parking was a challenge on most evenings & some rougher parts of town seemed to be just a street or two over and I wouldn't have felt comfortable being unfamiliar with the area walking to and from but it was a good location to drive to basically anything we wanted to do. The laundry was a shared space (not a bother at all but something not noted in description) and we were under the impression from the photos that there would be some type of private outdoor seating area which there wasn't really (seating area was positioned at the bottom of their front stoop steps/windows). It's the perfect place to be if you want to explore Vancouver because even though the space itself is quite cute, being a basement apartment there isn't much "ambiance" and we didn't feel compelled to do much hanging out there like we've been sucked into doing at some other AirBnB's. For us, here it was basically just about sleeping in a comfy bed (which it was very comfortable!), having a nice place to shower (the soaking tub was also huge!), do laundry and have a home base to explore from and for that Samantha & Jason's place was perfect. All in all we had a pleasant stay - thank you so much for opening up your home!
