Laule was wonderful and highly communicative during the booking, before my arrival and during my stay - very helpful if you have any Q. etc.
It was my first AirBnB experience and I am very happy it all went smoothly. I was in Van. for a 2d course, so early mornings & long days - the condo & room is exactly as in the pix, great location and lovely area.
The other guests were quiet and respectful. The DIY breakfast was a nice addition. Sheets & towels provided were hotel quality. Laule & her hubby were not there much as very busy, but she is always available by email or cell. She spoke to the other guests to ensure it was ok for me to have the shared bathroom early both mornings, so I was not late for my course.
The only small issue I had was you need a FOB to use the elevator (to hit any floor going up OR down), so I ended up riding it all over upon arrival and had to ask someone why it would not accept my floor 11, which I hit numerous times - thus had to get off at the Lobby and call Laule on my cell, she told me to go back outside and ring her again, so she could let me back in - this time the elevator came in time (you have a short time for the activation) so I made it - but would be helpful to know ahead of time or to have Laule meet you downstairs, at the back entrance when u buzz, to avoid this. After long travels it was a bit stressful as I had no idea of this.
Same thing upon leaving I realized - so had to throw down my knapsack on the elevator track and have it get jammed by elevator door as I raced back to her condo to leave my key & FOB after needing to use it to hit Lobby button - there must be an easier way? Lol):- I had to head to my course early & was checking out so no time to figure out.
It is shared bathrooms so keep that in mind, the 2 rented rooms are beside each other too and the bathroom is out in the foyer area, by the front door. Views are lovely and the condo is very well kept, with a nice set up.
Awesome delish & healthy food place is The Green Leaf Salad Bar, 2min walk away on Bute, its award winning and amazing! Owned by Wafa & her hubby, its all Home made lebanese food (falafel, shwarma etc.) and an incredible salad bar - great prices, not open Sunday. Star bucks, Waves coffee and SDMart all few min. Walk. Great location to walk to Robson & Granville sts downtown (20min away) + Stanely Park etc. Definitely recommend it!
