Beautiful home. Lots of space and really does allow you to settle right in. The garden is great and it’s very well laid out. The place is in a very safe area and there are tons of security cameras everywhere - that could be a good thing or a not so welcoming thing for some. For this price point I would assume everything would be included. However, the host will charge you extra for not sorting garbage correctly, using the fireplace or using the bbq. We were also asked to take garbage out when we left, which isn’t a big deal, it’s just for this price point and the cleaning fee being charged I really don’t think Should be asked of guests.
The host was very quick to respond to messages about there not being sheets for the beds , the dishwasher not working our entire stay and us requesting an iron. The promptness was very much appreciated but again, would have expected sheets and a working dishwasher at this price point.
Finally while the host was quick to respond to most requests, she couldn’t properly approve a requested date change (even when we’d been communicating around the change after it was made) leading to a massive miscommunication, ton of headache, dealings with Airbnb support staff and hours lost on our last day in Vancouver. Definitely not ideal and could have easily been avoided by a) officially approving changes as necessary b) more direct communication.
Overall if you’re looking for a quiet place with a nice garden this is great. A few let downs along the way though.
