Renter beware: You need to like it HOT!
TL;DR
Rented 9 days, stayed 2 days due to excessive heat in the unit. Owner kept all the money and gave no refund. Expensive lesson to learn to find out a rental has no air conditioning.
This place is in a great location. Right across the street from Rogers arena. The view is spectacular as well. Grocery store 1 block away. Check in was great and quick. Nice little office area and also separate small room off of the kitchen with pocket door that can be used for a private phone call room. Upon arrival we immediately noticed the unit was warm and all the windows and sliding doors were open. Temperate gauge in the unit showed 28c/82.4F. First night was pretty miserable but we made the most of it with the inadequate small fans provided in the house. Communication regarding the heat was great with the owner and huge props that they went and bought and delivered a small AC unit and dropped it off the next day. I got the AC unit setup in the main living area and vented outside and set the temp gauge to 17c/62.6F. After running the AC all night, we woke up at 6am and it was 22c/71.6F which was wonderful, and short lived. When the sun comes up, the sun rays just bake the unit all day long until about 630pm getting the unit up to 30c/86F! That's just not comfortable at all. I have measured temps on the metal mini blinds of 33c/97.5F in the late afternoon. Owner claims there's nothing he can do about the sun yet hasn't put on window tint to help with the radiation heating from the sun. In order to save our remote work/vacation time, we made the decision to leave and get a hotel room so we could enjoy the rest of our time in the city. After escalating to airbnb, they could not do anything to help me because "air conditioning" is not listed as being offered in the listing. When I made it clear to the owner that we were no longer staying in the unit due to the excessive heat, he was not phased and offered no refunds of any kind, even with penalty. I paid for 9 days, stayed 48 hours and learned a very expensive lesson. I know some things were out of the owners control but some kind of refund is squarely on them and they choose no mercy.
