I had a wonderful 10 day long stay at Charlene's place! They were kind, hospitable, accommodating, and welcoming! Their dog is the sweetest. The room is in the upstairs level of a house, and you have your own room and private bathroom. If you're a solo traveller, looking for a place close to the airport, and don't mind using public transportation (for upwards of sometimes an hour) to get to locations in Vancouver--this would be a great choice.
Location: It's about a 10 mins drive from the airport. The house is close to two main roads, Cambie St and Oak St, making it convenient to get downtown Vancouver or to travel via bus. The ride to downtown Vancouver via bus is about 20-25 mins. It's also about a 15 min walk to the closest Skytrain (like a subway) which also takes you to downtown in about 10-15 mins. It's about a 30-40 min bus ride to UBC. I did find the public transportation to be quite slow, sometimes taking the buses for an hour to get to Kitsilano, or downtown Vancouver, so for getting to downtown and UBC, on a time crunch, I would consider a closer location.
Space: You get exactly what's pictured! Keep in mind if you're bringing luggage, there are a few stairs up to the house, and a staircase to your room. There's a bed, a desk, a fan, and a chair in the room + towels + access to the bathroom. I only wish there was a TV in the room. The bathroom has a standing shower, sink and toilet. I fit inside the shower just fine, but if you're taller than 6'0, I might consider a different space. The upstairs room also has a section of slanted ceilings. Charlene was kind enough to let me use the kitchen to make any food, and she created space in the pantry for any food I had, as well as space in the fridge. In the kitchen, keep in mind they use an oven to warm up food, and don't have a microwave. Charlene and her husband also let me use the laundry and dryer for my stay too! That was tremendously helpful as I was hiking and travelling around Vancouver.
Charlene and her husband were kind and accommodating hosts! I felt like I had an independent space in the house and that I was welcomed at every aspect. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Vancouver! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
