You enter the room through the family’s living room via a secret bookcase door which locks from the inside. The bedroom and en-suite are very spacious with beautiful big windows looking out to the back and side yard. There is an abundance of natural light. There were fresh flowers in the room and bottled water and sweet bread provided- this was a very welcoming touch. The walls however were very dirty, with brown smears and pencil and marker drawings all over the walls, assumably made by a young child. There is no shower, it is a large jetted bathtub which is quite dated, with a hand- held sprayer. The bathtub had hair in it from the previous guest. This was a deal breaker for me, as a clean and functional shower is essential in my opinion. I paid for two nights but only stayed for one. The cleanliness and bathroom situation made it unsuitable for me personally. If you are more relaxed about these kinds of things the proximity to UBC is great and the price is reasonable. Keep in mind that you are staying with a family and there will be noise- this part didn’t really bother me at all.
