The Airbnb looks exactly as you see in the pictures.
Pros;
-driveway parking
-lots of hot water
-fan for cool air
Cons;
-internet goes in and out so tv didn’t work well.
-fridge keeps things cool but not cold.
-limited supplies (minimal toilet paper, paper towel, garbage bags etc)
Some other things you should know;
The driveway is really steep. We put our emergency break on every night.
There is a hole under the rug by the front door for a drain but they don’t tell you it’s there so I rolled my ankle the first night.
There is very minimal lighting outside the air bnb entrance so safety wise it’s concerning. ALSO lots of stairs this is not a wheel chair accessible place by any means.
There is no fire alarm in the place that we saw or could see which was SUPER concerning. 😬
I like to clean up my space when I’m done, there are almost no supplies to do so.
Bed is super squeaky and if you are over 5’5 you might be too long for it. It’s also small for 2 people. I stayed with my mom.
Overall we were there for 8 days and it was fine. TV was spotty which was frustrating as when we’d come back at the end of the day we just wanted to watch some tv before bed and couldn’t. Bed was ok for comfort but squeaks anytime you move. Dresser drawers are broken so the dresser wasn’t very useful but I liked the big mirror and the washer and dryer though a great privilege to have were a) hard to manoeuvre because the washer is awkward to get into as it’s in the bathroom behind the door/ the washer door snaps up so I got my finger caught a few times and b) if you left anything in the dryer overnight you could expect it would still be damp by morning. The unit is also very noisy so I don’t recommend putting laundry in to be washed before you try to sleep.
I have found other Airbnb’s in BC with a similar cost but with better experiences so though we are happy we had a place to stay during our trip we’d opt to stay elsewhere next time.
Additionally it’s about a 15 minute drive to your closest Walmart and downtown is about 20-25 minutes which was not ideal for us as it makes going anywhere a real drive.
Communication was good, the renter is polite and direct but there were no house rules provided. The only things we were told were check in details and the wifi password. If we had concerns or questions the communication was limited. Very polite but limited.
Again just different from past experiences with other renters.
