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.

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.

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.

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

The location to the airport was great and the room was clean and compy. Appreciated coffee in the room and my own bathroom was a huge bonus.

I wanted to watch some tv for I was jetlagged by 15 hours ahead of Vancouver time. I noticed there was Netflix on the tv, but no instructions on how to use the remote. It was the rooms only down fall.

I've been there twice and the rooms are always very clean, both rooms had a private bathroom, and on top of all the owners are so kind! They bent backwards to make sure I had a great stay and they would even come say "Hi" in the morning when I leave the room. I had a great experience the first time which is why I went back there the second time.

They don't serve breakfast, but I usually just go eat in the airport before my flight.

It was a quick stay - just an overnight with a very early morning check-out (4am) because of a 7am flight. It was a smooth and easy process, and the hosts were so friendly, flexible and accommodating. The house was very close to the Skytrain station - easy access to downtown and the airport. Quiet enough to have a good night's sleep, even though it was still early evening!

Nothing! It all worked out well.

Very friendly family home. The Room has a private bathroom only accesible from the room itself. Additionally the room had a desk, wall closet/ small storage room, water boiler and -filter, an AC and a TV with Google Chromecast. They offered me to use a seperate (from their own) Refrigerator. The location was decent due to being an 8 minute walk away from 'Marine Drive' Station.
