I had the best time staying in Rahsas airBNB! I stayed there for a month as a visiting researcher at UBC, and I cannot recommend this place enough!
The location is amazing, in a private, safe and a beautifully kept neighborhood filled with historic houses. As a female traveling alone it is not always easy to find out beforehand which areas OK from google alone, so this is always a concern for me. I felt totally secure for my entire stay in this wonderful upscale neighborhood. While private and quiet, it is also within a few minutes walk to the high street, with easy access to frequent and direct public transport to UBC (~20 min) and downtown (~30 min). I didn't feel the need for a cook top during my stay as there are multiple affordable places to eat or a take away. All the necessities are within an easy walking distance, including a drug store, Starbucks\Tim Hortons, a large supermarket and local ethnic food stores, including a Persian and Greek markets. Also a lot of wonderful artisanal bakeries and tea rooms.
The place is extremely clean, well designed with lovely decor, with lots of fresh towels and sheets, large comfortable bed and with a complimentary cleaning halfway through my stay. I had everything I needed, including easy accessible laundry facilities (iron, washer and dryer) and high speed WIFI. The unit has a private entrance, and I had total privacy during my stay. As a half basement unit in a historical house the ceiling is low, but I didn't have any issues (I'm 180). Rasha also added useful improvements that do not appear in the photos, including a larger desk and chair, and blinds to the large window.
Rasha was a wonderful host! incredibly nice and courteous, always available if I had questions, and helped me tremendously when my flight home was delayed.
I would defiantly recommend this unit, and hope to stay there again!
