We stayed at this Airbnb for a total of one month. The location is quite good, very close to the skytrain station and the house is very clean. However, I would not recommend it unless you are looking for a short-term stay in a quiet place. The owner has many rules and reminds you of them through post-its all around the house which will also constantly remind you that you are only a guest and have no freedom. While some of them are more than reasonable, I agree people should always clean after themselves and separate the rubbish for recycling, others are a bit less so, such as the no cooking after 8pm which might be hard if you are working evening shifts, and some are just ridiculous such asking the “gentlemen” to put up the toilet seat. In any case, the main reason why I would not recommend this Airbnb has to do with a day when the owner (in her own words) “almost blew a fuse”. I don’t think we were supposed to witness this and maybe she didn’t realise we were in our room, but that doesn’t make it ok; one day she just started screaming from the top of her lungs, slamming doors and throwing things on the floor, cursing all the guests and calling us idiots. She went on for like 30 minutes before stopping and since this event I just felt extremely uncomfortable in the house and around her. She seems kind when you talk to her and even on the last day when we checked out late due our own misunderstanding she was very nice. To me it seems she doesn’t enjoy having people staying there after all, you have to do everything as if you were renting and living there (like take out the rubbish) but you have not the freedom to participate at setting the rules.
For the recycling I would suggest to put different container in the kitchen to make it easier for newcomers that might not be used to recycling. She takes care of a child at the lower floor which is very nice but occasionally might be a bit loud.
