Loved our stay here! The place was super nice, clean, and in a really safe area. The steam bath was awesome - such a cool bonus! Host was great with communication too. Would definitely stay again.
Nice People. Room was big enough for the both of us. We had our own bathroom with a big shower. Bed was hard but slept very well.No ac in the room but we asked for a fan and that was delivered promptly by the owner. Kitchen is separate from the owner but has microwave and oven for toast if you want to make breakfast. Nice pool also. Parking is directly on the street with plenty of space. Communication is very quick by the owners. All and all a pleasent stay and when we go back to Vancouver we hope to go there again if available.
If you need a low cost spot near the airport this may work for you. If you have any physical challenges be aware the stairs have coverings over carpet and there are no handles for the bathroom door or shower- the windows push out so you need some strength, balance, and dexterity to stay. There is no closet or space to hang anything including towels except on the bed or behind/above the toilet. There is no space other than the bed within the room to sit or eat and the common areas are not reliably open for use. If you just need a bed and can manage without unpacking your suitcase that cost is hard to beat.
The table glass cover was broken when I checked out . I was not injured luckily. I was charged $20 for the broken glass afterwards. I did not complain and object to the charge. I do believe that this is something tear and wear issue as I didnât do anything wrong using the table.
We loved it here. The room was clean with a nice bathroom, and the communication was excellent with the host. They were quick to respond during our stay and helped out with the things we asked for. The vibe was cozy, and we felt very comfortable overall!
(The place was less than 10 mins away from Richmond-Brighouse station, via bus that comes every 10-15 mins!)
The room/bathroom was fantastic and spacious. The hosts Will & Tammy were very kind and generous, and had lots of excellent recommendations for things to do in the area.The one thing is it is definitely more of a hostel sort of environment than it seems from the listingâ due to allergies we look for places with kitchens so we can cook our own meals, and while this place had an accessible microwave and toaster oven for guests, it wasnât the type of kitchen access we had expected from the listing.
Excellent location. Handy to transport and shops. Friendly efficient and helpful hosts.(thanks Wil & Tammy)If we ever return to Vancouver, we will definitely stay again. Les & Lori. Allegori
Stayed in the Espresso suite, which is only room with private bath. Otherwise Hostel environment, but very clean, quiet, friendly and accommodating. Felt comfortable, safe and welcome, even with my teenage son. Very nice people! Pool is cold but was perfect for a dip after a day at Playland. Room was hot by afternoon when we got back but opened windows and curtains and was great at night! Stayed 4 nights and would definitely return!
Tammy was wonderful and incredibly communicative. Unfortunately, from previous reviews, I think we got a different expectation of this place. In reality: it's a clean hostel with access to a working microwave and pool. We stayed in the espresso room which had a beautiful bathroom all to ourselves -- and everyone else shared a bathroom That's fine, but just different from my expectations of a BnB. You do have to take a bus to the sky train and sometimes the bus takes up to 15 minutes to arrive. The decor and furniture could use some updating as the bed was quite uncomfortable and it was quite warm in our room the house got a little noisy at night being right over the garage and with people coming and going and all. Overall, it was an okay stay and affordable for Vancouver when booking so late (just maybe not for Richmond). Fine in a pinch!
The bathroom was dirty when we arrived This property was just a bedroom in a house not a separate vacation rental. It appeared in the listing to be a separate unit. The bed was really hardThe steam shower was nice. There was no closet space. Its a nice quiet neighborhood. 48% discount is ridiculous. 500/night for a bedroom with no kitchen is disappointing
Easy self check-in process. Communicative hosts who offered many suggestions for local activities. Safe area. Quiet and clean.
We paid slightly more to stay in the "Espresso" room and we absolutely did not regret it.
Very comfortable king size bed. Ensuite had a walk-in rain shower with steam.
High-functioning Vancouver public transit gives the location really great value for cost, with or without a vehicle. (Get the Vancouver transit app.)
Particularly great location if you plan on visiting the Richmond area, and if coming directly from the airport. World-class food abundant. (True for Vancouver in general, but in Richmond in particular. A mind-blowing amount of dining options...)
There is a pool (we didn't use it).
Only detraction I can think of it that kitchen facilities are limited (due to licensing?) Kettle, microwave, and french presses for coffee... a few other amenities. Don't expect to be able to prepare proper meals, just simple breakfasts.
Would go out of our way to book this location again.
The house and room was spotless and very welcoming. location was great and easy to find. Host was great at communicating with us and answering any questions. They also gave many suggestions on things to do in the area and places to eat. The only reason I gave a 4 on the overall stay, was because we found the bed very hard and uncomfortable. But otherwise, fantastic place to stay! Would definitely recommend!
Such a lovely stay! My room was massive and the steam shower was a nice touch (sorry to those that don't get this room!) Super clean and easy to get to Vancouver central and beyond. Thanks for a pleasant stay!
Aside from the very hot room and house temperatures due to the extremely high heat, everything else was wonderful. They provided me information about the city and where to find good restaurants as well as how to get around on the public transportation system
Highly recommend a stay this Tammy and Will.
