We rented the unit for 3 months over the summer. We were both working from home and spent most weekdays in the airbnb.
Overall, the location is great. The neighbourhood is packed with grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurant, and bars. Included building amenities we liked were the indoor parking space and an outdoors private terrace with seating to eat. The building is also minutes away from false creek and parcs.
The condo unit is also nice. It is big enough for two people to comfortably work from home. The second bedroom can easily be made into a closed office. Aleya also brought us an extra office chair. The included internet was good, and we did not experience speed or bandwidth issues. The unit comes fully furnished with extras in the kitchen, notably cookware, baking-ware, a coffee grinder & drip coffee maker.
Aleya was a good host. She was flexible for checking in and out of the airbnb. When temperatures rose in July and August, Aleya quickly ordered a portable AC unit after we let her know the condo was hot during the day. Her handyman came by to install the unit soon after delivery.
On the downside, noise coming from construction across the street was irritating. Over our stay a building was being built in front of the airbnb. Work lasted for the 3 months we stayed in the airbnb. The noise was constant during the week. In consequence we had to keep the windows closed during most days.
The construction was not disclosed in the airbnb posting description or pictures. We learned about the ongoing work once checked-in. Upon moving in Aleya did let us know she had lowered the price because of the construction. Aleya was understanding once we shared our concerns. She asked how she could have done things better and agreed to gift us an experience of our choice as an apology.
In summary, this is a great airbnb in a great location. Aleya was a good host and we had a good time, although we wish we knew about the ongoing construction before booking.
