Chris was very accommodating and I appreciated being able to book one day in advance when my other place fell through. Her neighborhood was exactly where I wanted to be, close to the BC Women's Hospital and easy to get to the Skytrain and bus.
The room itself had what I needed; a private bathroom, a comfortable bed and a desk to work at. I appreciated that I could control my own heat as it's very damp in Vancouver in the winter.
This would have been an ideal spot and I would have booked for when I was coming back in April for the location alone, but the other guests (who seem to be very long term) we loud, messy and made using the shared kitchen impossible because of their dirty dishes. Both nights I was kept up by their loud talking and door closing, there's no sound proofing in the house.
It's really a shame because Chris is lovely and the room was comfortable and well equipped.
