City lights weekend

City lights is a perfect spot for 1-2 ppl. The kichen is well stocked with dinner wear and things for cooking. Its a fairly quiet area with a really nice view and groceries/supplies just a 10 min walk down the mountain. The upstairs neighbor was very lovely.

Cute little place with amazing views of the mountains

My best friend and I stayed here for a few days and it was the nicest place we stayed in in Vancouver. It had a kitchen, a very clean bathroom and Len was always helpful if we ever needed anything! The view when you walk out is really nice, you can see a peak of the mountains. Overall, this place was very nice and very easy to drive around as well!

It was a small room which wasn’t really an issue but, the bed was only a pull out couch so it was pretty uncomfortable. There wasn’t any AC besides a fan so it was pretty warm, the lock was a little messed up and it was hard to lock the door. The neighborhood is very nice and safe. and there’s a yummy bagel shop couple streets down. The hosts were nice and easy to get a hold of!

For short stay perfect place

Leonard was a great host, very helpful. The unit has everything's you need for 2 people. The couch bed was fine but couldn't figure how to turn it back into a couch. Parking is little tight but usable. Very quiet neighborhood. Would stay there again.

No soap, shampoo. I thought that was standard. Bed was weird…foam pad wrapped in a tablecloth over a fold out couch. No sheets. No lit pathway. Difficult to see where you should be going if coming back after dark. Clean. Served its purpose, but barely.

Feeling fleeced

Cleaning fees are set by hosts. VRBO allows fees to be very very high if hosts want them to be. VRBO doesn’t allow any reviews about these fees set by hosts. I recommend a close examination of these for any visitor to this place.

City lights

All in all was a good place to stay, the bed got uncomfortable after a week or so. Not bad for a shorter stay. No curtains was an issue I work nights.. poor insulation. No towel rack or hook or bath mat.. shower light and fan are one switch so kind of cold after working in the cold all night would be nice to have a hot shower in a warm room... For the area it's a good price. Also parking wasn't great for bigger vehicles.

Misleading description and pictures

The property comes up as Entire Unit, but it's just a room, which is a really weird kitchen / sitting room / bedroom. One thing they do not properly state is that THERE IS NO BED! They have a pull out sofa and they place a mattress on top, which overhangs about a foot, btw. No to be totally fair, the place is NOT horrible, it's just that its deception is grossly misleading. If I had read a more accurate description of the place beforehand, I would not have picked it.
