A surprising and lovely room! The host was very friendly and welcoming. The room was great, with a private and super clean bathroom. Every detail was well taken care of. The only small problem is that the bed is a bit short, but since I’m staying alone, that’s fine—it’s more like my own issue. Yesterday, it took me just a bit over 20 minutes from the airport — taking the SkyTrain and then walking here. If you need to catch a flight the next day and don’t want to travel too far, this is definitely the place to stay.

Excellent! The host Helen is very friendly and flexible ,allow me to check in early even though I put the time is after 3pm. The location is nearby the skytrain station with supermarket and restaurants. The room is on second floor very clean with mobile air-conditioner. She provide extra effort to offer me umbrella in rainy day though I have one. The main floor sitting room is a bit crowded with items but I have no concern. Overall I highly recommended this for solo traveller.

Clean, cosy room and bathroom, comfy bed, nice bed linen and towels, lots of complementary cosmetics and drink options. Desk in the room. Good location for public transit (10 min walk to skytrain, 5 to bus). Quiet street, very pleasant location.

Owners expect guests to take off shoes at entry. No lift (second floor room). Wasn't able to make ac work. There's a cat, and a tiny bit of cat smell coming from outside the room, but my alergies did not flare up, so the cleaning must be good.

We stayed at Helen’s house for one night when travelling back from the Rockies before flying home to the UK. The house is superbly situated just a 5-10 mins walk to the Skytrain at Marine Drive, there is free parking in the street in which the property is situated and it took us just 10 mins to drive to the airport in the morning. The Skytrain Canada line also goes directly to the airport if you don’t have a rental car. Marine Drive is situated in zone 1 of the Skytrain network which makes it cheap and easy to get into downtown. The owner of the property was super flexible with timings as we arrived early which enabled us to see more of downtown during our stay before heading home. The property is clean, well presented and lots of little extras which made it very homely. Communication throughout was excellent. Good selection of cable tv for later in the evening and a small patio to enjoy a glass of wine before the sun goes down.

The bed was comfy. It was quiet most of the time. The owner seemed nice. The proximity to the skytrain station is the best thing about the place. Real canadian superstore is close as well and there is an asian supermarket by the skytrain station.

I understand that its necessary for safety but every time somebody enters the house there is a loud peeping sound that can easily wake you up. As mentioned in other reviews, there is too much stuff around :).

I was not aware that breakfast was included. Coffee was available and chocolate bars, which I would not call breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable.

It would have been appreciated to at least have a note welcoming me and letting me know where my room was. I had to go through the whole house to figure out which room was mine. In addition, there was a young male there and no one else in the house. I did feel a bit uncomfortable for us being alone in the house. A woman did come in later to greet me, which allayed my concerns.

Helen and her husband were really nice hosts, they did everything to make me feel comfortable. The apartment is really well located, on the metro line connecting the city center with the airport, so both sides are easily accessible from here. The room was really comfy and accessible. The neighborhood was safe and normal.

It’s a small, self contained place. About a 10 minute walk from marine drive sky train which is only 1 zone change from airport, not far at all. There are stores and restaurants close to the sky train. Good WiFi, has everything I needed for an overnight short stopover. I checked my suitcase at the airport and just traveled light. I would use again if prices competitive. I felt safe both in the neighbour and the accommodation. When you are given entry instructions and photos, look closely at the photo of the door as there are 3 doors in the back with key codes to access and make sure you are trying the right door!

Quite small and cluttered for my taste. very hard bed but I slept ok. only has kitchen chairs to sit on. can’t get tv channels but dvd’s were provided.

The host is a great gardener and the place was very clean and well supplied. It was in a great location - a safe and quiet neighborhood very close to the Sky Train

Only one room was air conditioned and it was quite hot while we were there

Location is excellent: safe neighbourhood with proximity to Skytrain station and stores Netflix is provided The cat is lovely

Everything is self-served, no one is there to welcome The place needs some decluttering and cleaning, there is a dental floss next to the shower place and the artificial plant in washroom is dusty No breakfast is provided
