I stayed here for 1 month while I was looking for an apartment of my own after moving to Vancouver. Renee is a very friendly and she took the time to show me around the unit, explaining how everything worked and the rules of the house, of which there are many. The room is part of a two bedroom basement suite, with it's own entrance at the back of the house so you can expect a reasonable level of privacy. Everything is new and the place is very nicely furnished although on the small side for two people. As you might have gathered from the posting, Renee is extremely serious about keeping clean. This means there are strict rules about using the appliances, sweeping/mopping the floors every other day, and she will check in every now and then to make sure everything is up to spec. This is definitely going to push the limits for some people.

The location is pretty accessible. Bus #25 is frequent and takes you to the Skytrain or into Burnaby. The neighbourhood is a bit dull, but pretty much what you would expect for the location.

Ultimately I give it a thumbs up. The ad is accurate, Renee is a really helpful host and the monthly price is not too bad. For me
