    I was not comfortable with the shared bathroom and living spaces, even though they were well maintained.

    Good location, close to airport, affordable

    Going up and down the narrow stairs with heavy luggage was a pain but we were able to leave the biggest suitcases downstairs (with luggage locks) so that we had more space in the room.

    The bed was very comfortable and I loved the bathtub! Everything was very new and freshly renovated and the soaps/shampoos were quality products. Was very happy with the location because our flight was super early and it was very close to the airport without traffic noise. There were other guests but we didn't hear them at all.

    The room was upstairs so it was hard to move luggage up and down. There are also no trash bin, mirror or other amenities in the room.

    The room is very clean and spacious, and smells really nice. The house overall (including the washroom) was very clean.

    We arrived late in the evening to find that there was no way to turn on the A/C in our room and there was no one on-site to contact. We ended up leaving the windows open which was fine for temperature control, but made it a bit noisy to sleep due to passing planes. The pillow were extremely thin and we ended up putting sweatshirts underneath to supplement.

    Easy to get inside and nice and quiet. All of the necessary information (WiFi etc) was posted prominently when we walked in.

    Great value. Nice and tidy. Aircondition and free wifi.

    It takes quite some time to get to down town if you are on a conference at the conference center. During rush hours it can take up to an hour with the bus.

    Very nice place if you just landed in Vancouver and want a place to stay. Aircondition in the room. I stayed at Marpole in two different rooms (two separate stays). The large room has a private bathroom with a shower. Large bed and tv. The smaller room has a shared bathroom with one other room. Newly renovated rooms and bathrooms. Excellent host and very clean and tidy. There are common areas downstairs with a dining table, sink, refrigerator, cooking possibilities and even a manual training bike, which I didnt use. If you enjoy going for a run or just a walk, there is a park not far away where you can do both. Short distance to the bus. Roughly 15 minutes walk to the sky train.

    The choice of items available for guests to help themselves to in the kitchen.

    Lovely hosts who clearly take pride in providing a clean and comfortable stay for their guests. Our room with king bed and ensuite bathroom was spacious and squeaky clean. Windows can be kept open and fan is provided. Quiet neighbourhood. Close to a great café called Gigi's, only a 4min walk from the house, highly recommend! Short drive to the airport.

    Nice clean basic room with shared bathroom with very friendly hostess

    We did not want to lug our heavy bags up and down the narrow stairs so we were allowed to leave them in the common room overnight. Keep in mind that the guest house is in a safe middle class neighborhood with no frills and no sign identifying the property as a guesthouse and the shops and restaurants on Granville Street are typical of a suburban neighborhood - very basic but not like what you would find in downtown - no complaints but want the reader to be mindful of what the area offers.

    The location is very close to the airport (our reason for staying there) and is a 10 minute walk from Granville Street which has some tasty restaurants and a chain grocery store and several bus lines going up and down Granville. There are 3 rooms upstairs in this guest house (one king with its own bathroom and two queens that share a bathroom) and our queen room was adequately big with a comfy bed and soft sheets and duvet. The bathroom across the hall was big with a wonderful walk in shower with two shower heads. There was no TV in the room but the common room downstairs had two sofas and a big screen TV and a dining table and a kitchen (which we did not use). We did not want to lug our heavy bags up and down the narrow stairs so we were allowed to leave them in the common room (with no problem and felt safe doing so). The hostess was friendly and gracious and she explained how everything worked. Everything was clean and the amenities basic.
