Pros:
Excellent location! Close to the heart of Vancouver.
Host is very responsive.
Cons:
•even though the owner wasn't sleeping in the apartment, it felt like complete shared accommodation. The owners personal things were packed into every inch of the apartment therefore, there was no counter space, cupboard space, oven space(oven was used for storage) or closet space. We were shocked by how full the fridge was and how we were asked to sort through his food left in the food and freezer. This was very disgusting and unpleasant to do. This was also the case for how the closet was still full of his clothes.
•Had to remove bugs from tub daily
•To make room we moved furniture then within a few hours the owner messaged us asking to move the furniture back which made us "curious" as to how he knew we moved it in the first place, left an uneasy feeling in us all.
•no recycling in apartment
•we asked specific questions about parking and he was not very clear.
•one night there was a party outside our apartment until 12:15AM
Overall:
•Overpriced for shared accommodation
•Disappointed in how little effort was made to clear space for guests that were coming to stay - especially in communal spaces in the house.
