The room is exactly as pictured in the photos. It is very comfortable with a good bed, adequate storage space, and a small desk and chair where you can work. The shared bathroom is shared between only two rooms - I never had to wait to use it. The shared kitchen is large, well equipped and comfortable. The subway station is a five minute walk from the house - once you are on the subway, you can get anywhere in Vancouver quite quickly. This was a great base for my stay in Vancouver and I strongly recommend it.
