Paisley and Andy were wonderful hosts. I stayed in the front basement room, which was very private and clean. I loved being able to retreat into my room after a day spent out and about with my friends.
The shared spaces were as expected for a shared basement apartment in Vancouver. As someone who stayed in several shared houses while attending UBC, I was grateful for the familiar dynamic: shared spaces somewhat cluttered due to the number of people, but not filthy; friendly housemates who offered to socialize but ultimately respected my introverted ways; space set aside for each person in the shared kitchen cabinets and refrigerator; etc. If you have ever shared a house with others while renting your own room, especially in Vancouver, this place is exactly what you're expecting.
The absolute best part, for me, was the location. It's basically a block away from the Commercial/Broadway Skytrain Station, plus the 099 and several other buses.
I definitely would recommend this place. :)
