I stayed here for 3 nights, and the value of staying here is excellent pricewise for having ones own space in a desired location of Vancouver. Checking in and out was straightforward and the space was very clean will all necessary amenities included. I do feel that the pictures in advertisement are a bit misleading, as the space looked a bit larger, more cozy and brighter than what is. The lighting is very good inside, so I suppose that makes a difference in warming up the space (as does access to the thermostat :). When I first entered, I was a bit surprised as it felt a bit like I was in a small garage shed as it was a bit cool with cement floors and essentially everything is pretty basic with a bit of an industrial feel. I was also a surprised that I had to take off the couch cover as it is a fold-out and make my own bed which I haven't experienced before (nor have I been asked to strip the linins as I was here upon check out). Once set up, the bed was decent and the room worked well for me. I appreciated some thoughtful touches that were made such as robes and iron board in closet. Regarding location, Commercial Drive is a great spot if familiar with Vancouver and you are at ease in getting around. If one is not keen on taking public transit, or walking a fair bit, then it should be expected that you are going to be cabbing it around to more central locations such is downtown, Gastown, Granville, etc . All in all I think this is space is ideal for a lone traveler, who is appreciative of having his or her own space, cleanliness and the basic amenities.
